Belvoir is a historic house at Crownsville, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It is a two-story, T-shaped building, constructed of brick, stone, and wood. The home is a product of building evolution spanning the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The earliest portion was probably built about 1736, but could date to the 17th century. It was the home of the grandmother of Francis Scott Key, who composed the Star Spangled Banner. Key visited in the summer in 1789.[Archaeological dig finds massive slave quarters in Crownsville|http://www.capitalgazette.com/cg-archaeological-dig-finds-massive-slave-quarters-in-crownsville-20140731-story.html] Read more on Wikipedia
