Historic Grosvenor Mansion in Bethesda for sale

Stately Grosvenor Mansion at 10100 Laureate Way in Bethesda could now be yours - for, well...a price not being publicized by Broad Street Realty. The 11880 SF historic summer home of Gilbert Grosvenor has, sadly in my opinion, been used as office space in recent years. Grosvenor is widely considered "the father of photojournalism," having served as the first editor of National Geographic magazine.

Grosvenor has other landmarks to his name, including Grosvenor Arch in Utah and Gilbert Grosvenor Hall in Canada, but this is one you can actually buy. The mansion has significant landscaped grounds, but the property has been encroached upon by the Montgomery County cartel via a new residential development approved a few years ago. The Montgomery Way!

An avid adventurer and advocate for the national park system, Grosvenor would likely be disgusted by the cartel's efforts to pave over the entire county with asphalt, steel and concrete. Did you know that the official scientific name for Monkfruit - a small melon grown in Asia - was coined after Gilbert Grosvenor? Try to find Siraitia grosvenorii next time you are shopping at Whole Paycheck.

    Really? Marauders? In their office duds or camo?

    7:18 AM Yes, Dyer should stick to just reciting the Council's talking points of the day and regurgitating press releases with zero critical thought or analysis. Actually, you can go to several legacy media sources for that. Maybe a critique of a councilman's socks to boot (hi WTOP!)

    Seems like every morning I get up and Robert Dyer has a new report on development or real estate!

    8:01 here. Sorry, I got a little confused. I mis-remembered Dyer's unsigned comment at 7:26 as a signed comment. LOL

    WTF does the Grosvenor Estate have to do with "Betrayed by Save Westbard"?

    Anna @ 2:55 PM raises an important point.

    "Narcissists have two layers of rage. The first layer of rage can be thought of as a constant anger (towards someone else), with the second layer being a self-aimed wrath."

    "pave over the entire county with asphalt"

    I find this statement absolutely hilarious since Dyer is the biggest proponent in the entire county of building new highways.

    Montgomery County run by libertards who have handed the county over to illegal aliens.
    High taxes to pay for illegals educations. My friends car purposefully hit by illegal who screamed necks hurt.
    They had NO insurance. How is it legal to drive without insurance?
