Beall's Pleasure is a historic home located in Landover, Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. It was built in 1795 as the summer home of Benjamin Stoddert[3] who later became the first Secretary of the Navy.[4]
The building is a 2-story Federal brick house with a 1 1⁄2-story brick wing added in 1936. The building is 5 bays wide in the front and 3 at the rear. The brick has been laid in common bond.[1]
The garden was landscaped in 1936, by Boris V. Timchenko, long-time chief architect of the annual National Capital Flower and Garden Show, and later designer of gardens for President John F. Kennedy and Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower.[1][5]
