National Register Of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance or "great artistic value".

Eagle's Nest (Phoenix, Maryland)
The Eagle's Nest is a historic home located at Phoenix, Baltimore County, Maryland. It is a large fieldstone dwelling begun, it is believed, in the 1690s and completed in 1802 on part of a 2500-acre tract named "The Valley of Jehosaphat" by Richard Smith, Jr., who was granted the land by Lord Baltimore in 1684 in recognition of Smith's service as the first attorney general of Maryland. Smith's descendants owned the tract until Walter Dulany bought half of it in the 1720s and the other half about 20 years later. Etymology While the origin of the name, "Eagle's Nest", is unknown, one possible explanation has to do with the fact that a Mr. FitzHugh of Virginia married one of famed lawyer Daniel Dulany's sisters and lived with her at "Fitzhugh Farm", adjoining the original "Eagle's Nest" to the north. The FitzHughs owned, among other properties, a plantation north of the James River named, "Eagle's Nest". Dulany family The Dulany family was a prosperous mercantile and land-owning fa ...

The film stars the countercultural drag queen Divine as a criminal living under the name of Babs Johnson, who is proud to be "the filthiest person alive".

It was filmed in the vicinity of Baltimore, Maryland, where Waters and most of the cast and c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
