      Margaret & Florence purchased the house & 20 acres of land in 1933. They dubbed it, “the Calvert Estate,” in tribute to Florence’s distinguished lineage – her mother was a direct descendant of Sir George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore of Maryland.

      The 5,000 square-foot house consisted of four stories that included a large attic & basement for storage. The porch was one of the women’s favorite places to sit & listen to the small stream trickling across their land.pic.twitter.com/BV2zmVL84a

      Margaret & Florence had been living on their estate for 15 years when @USDOTFHWA acquired 742 acres around them for a research facility. Being proactive, they made an agreement to an upfront purchase of their property, but they could remain living there until they passed away.

      1950s: CIA Director Dulles began looking for a location for a new HQ building, one that would offer a campus-like setting, afford security, & privacy. The land surrounding the Calvert Estate fit the bill.

      1973: Florence passed away, at age 95. CIA DDA at the time, Harry Fitzwater, grew concerned for Margret’s safety and health & instructed CIA security officers to check on her & make sure she was alright.pic.twitter.com/8Q6lcX2wZe

      1984: Managers of the New HQ Building construction project inquired about the feasibility of infringing slightly upon Margaret’s property to expand some roadwork around Headquarters. Respecting her privacy, the CIA’s Office of General Counsel responded with a firm ‘no.’pic.twitter.com/enaG8ttfqe

      Margaret did visit CIA HQ once, in 1984, when she was the guest of honor at a lunch w Director Casey. Over the years, several Agency officers also befriended her & would stop by to help w yard work & grocery shopping. On holidays, DDA Fitzwater would bring her holiday meals.pic.twitter.com/PfQcflKf0U

      Over the next several years, while the numerous proposals for what to do with the property were debated & funding applied for, CIA Security Protective Officers (SPOs) slowly took over the main house & brought with them their K-9 unit.

      In 2003, the house underwent a complete renovation to become a state-of-the-art conference center. No rooms were added during the restoration & the foundation was untouched, although the porch was enclosed.pic.twitter.com/IpuOsjz1ae

          Margaret & Florence built their lives together in the house for over 50 years. Memories of the women & the house are forever ingrained in our history. Today CIA employees enjoy using the quiet & historic space for conferences & meetings. http://bit.ly/2FhrYEX pic.twitter.com/12cmYReX8W
