Wardour

Picture
Wardour is a neighborhood that was established in 1907.  It was named by Elisabeth Giddings after the birth place of Ann Arundell, Wardour Castle.  

This paragraph from their website says it best about the beauty of the design of the neighborhood:  With its high bluffs, striking views of the Severn River, undulating topography, and mature trees, the property lent itself well to the Olmsted design philosophy. The neighborhood-centered plan with a curvilinear street pattern fitted to the natural contours of the land, irregular lots, interior traffic gardens, and a community-owned open space system were all concepts pioneered by the Olmsted firm and well-demonstrated in their plan for Wardour.

The designers responded to one of Miss Giddings’s chief concerns, the preservation of specimen trees on the property. The early homes in Wardour date from the implementation of the Olmsted plan. Yet as building and rebuilding has continued over the last century, the strong bones and articulate intentions of that plan have proven their worth. As one wanders through Wardour’s leafy environs, enjoying its meandering roads and preserved open spaces, you will experience the success of the Olmsteds’ plan and the stewardship of its dedicated residents.
