The Bonnet-Duck House is located at 5617 Seminole Street in Berwyn Heights, Maryland. The property, which is less than one acre, includes a dwelling and a prefabricated shed. The dwelling has a moderate setback, which is typical for this section of Seminole Street. The level, grassy lot features mature trees and shrubs, as well as foundation plantings. A gravel driveway is located in the northeast corner of the property. A combination of wood and chain-link fences lines this property. The prefabricated shed is located in the southeast corner of the property.

Dwelling

This two-and-a-half-story, four-bay single-family dwelling was constructed c. 1892 and has a form of an American Four-Square with Craftsman-style characteristics. The wood-frame dwelling has been reclad with aluminum siding and is set on a solid foundation of American-bond brick. A hip roof covered with asphalt shingles is finished with deep overhanging eaves and vinyl-clad soffits. A central-interior brick chimney with parged cap pierces the roof. A centrally located gable dormer projects from each slope of the roof. Clad with aluminum siding, three of the dormers contain paired 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows with square-edged aluminum surrounds. The dormer on the rear (south) slope contains paired twelve-light wood casement windows. A one-story, three-bay porch extends across the façade (north elevation) and is set on a concrete-block pier foundation infilled with wood lattice. A half-hip roof covered with asphalt shingles is supported by square wood posts. Square wood balusters and a flight of wooden steps to the east complete the porch. An off-center, single-leaf, paneled wood door with lights pierces the façade. This opening has a square-edged aluminum surround. The westernmost bay contains a narrow, 4/1, double-hung, wood-sash window, while the eastern bays contain 8/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows. The second story of the façade contains 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows in the easternmost bays while the westernmost bay contains double-leaf French doors. The existence of the doors suggests the flat roof of the porch was previously enclosed by a balustrade.

The northernmost bay on the first and second stories of the east (side) elevation contain 8/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows. The southern bay of the first story contains a tripartite opening composed of a single-light, metal-sash fixed window flanked by four-light metal casement windows. The southern bay of the second story contains paired 6/1 and 8/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows. All windows have aluminum-clad ogee-molded surrounds. The foundation is pierced by two-light wood-sash casement windows with wood surrounds.

The west (side) elevation features a two-story, three-sided canted bay. The bay, set on a foundation veneered in American-bond brick, is capped by a half-hip roof covered with asphalt shingles. Fenestration consists of 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash windows with false 9/1 vinyl muntins. The second story of the west elevation’s northern bay contains a small 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window. The foundation is pierced by a two-light wood casement window. The first story of the southern bay contains a 4/4, double-hung, wood-sash window, while the basement window opening has been infilled with T-111 siding. All windows on the west elevation have aluminum-clad square-edge surrounds.

A two-story, full-width sleeping porch is located on the rear (south) elevation of the dwelling. The wood-frame porch has been enclosed with aluminum siding. A half-hip roof covered with asphalt shingles caps the porch. It is probable that the porch is an original feature of the dwelling based on its solid, American-bond brick foundation. The east elevation is fenestrated with paired 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows with ogee-molded aluminum-clad surrounds. The second story of the south elevation is fenestrated with 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows with ogee-molded aluminum-clad surrounds. The first story of the west elevation has a window opening containing paired 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows with an ogee-molded aluminum-clad surround. The second story is pierced by paired twelve-light, wood-sash casement windows with an aluminum-clad surround.

A two-story addition, constructed c. 1940, is located on the southwest corner of the sleeping porch. The addition has the same material treatment as the main block because of the replacement of exterior cladding. It is set on a solid foundation composed of concrete piers with American-bond brick infill. A shed roof caps the addition. The west (side) elevation is fenestrated with a 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash window on the first story and paired one-light sliding metal windows on the second story. The first story of the south (rear) elevation is pierced by a 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window. The second story, which is not as wide as the first story, contains paired 6/1, double-hung, wood-sash windows. The second story of the east (side) elevation is fenestrated with a single-leaf, paneled wood door sheltered by a metal-frame storm door. All of the openings have aluminum-clad square surrounds.

A one-story, enclosed porch is located in the southeast corner of the building. Based on its form and materials, it appears that this addition was constructed in the mid-twentieth century. The wood-frame porch is set on a solid, concrete-block foundation. T-111 siding has been utilized to enclose the porch. A shed roof covered with asphalt shingles caps the addition. Fenestration consists of ribbons of 1/1, double-hung, metal-sash windows. The south (rear) elevation contains a single-leaf door opening at grade.

Prefabricated Shed

This one-story, two-bay prefabricated shed is located southeast of the dwelling. Based on its form and materials can be given a c. 2000 date of construction. The wood-frame shed is clad with German vinyl siding and is capped by a side-gable roof of asphalt shingles. The roof is finished with overhanging eaves and a boxed cornice. The façade (west elevation) is pierced by a single-leaf paneled vinyl door with lights and a 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window with false 4/4 vinyl muntins and inoperable louvered vinyl shutters. The north (side) elevation is fenestrated with a centrally placed 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window with false 4/4 vinyl muntins and inoperable louvered vinyl shutters.

Integrity

The Bonnet-Duck House has a moderate level of integrity of design, materials, and workmanship. The integrity of materials and workmanship has been affected, but not compromised by the use of non-historic aluminum siding as cladding material and the installation of vinyl- and metal-sash windows. The aluminum siding is a common and reversible late-twentieth-century alteration. The dwelling’s integrity of design has been affected by the enclosure of the rear sleeping porch and subsequent rear additions and alterations. These, however, are on the rear of the dwelling and not visible from the public right-of-way. The dwelling’s integrity of setting, location, feeling, and association has been maintained as it is still located in the suburban residential neighborhood of Berwyn Heights.

The prefabricated shed, based on its c. 2000 constructed date, is considered a non-contributing resource.

Overall, the Bonnet-Duck House retains a moderate level of integrity.

Statement of Significance

The Bonnet-Duck House, constructed c. 1892, is located at 5617 Seminole Street in Berwyn Heights. This single-family dwelling is representative of the late-nineteenth-century development that occurred in this community. Although the property is now surrounded by dwellings of different architectural styles and forms from early to late twentieth century, the primary resource retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance as a single-family dwelling constructed during the first phase of the development of Berwyn Heights. This development occurred in 1888 with the establishment of the Charlton Heights (now Berwyn Heights). The dwelling was constructed c. 1892 for Peter Louis Bonnet, a tailor living in Washington, DC. who used the Berwyn Heights property as an income-producing investment. Like many properties in Berwyn Heights in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this was an income-producing property for many of the subsequent owners of this dwelling. In 1956, Bernard F. Duck purchased the house, which has been owner-occupied by members of the Duck family for over fifty years. The Bonnet-Duck House has maintained sufficient integrity to convey its significance as a late-nineteenth-century dwelling constructed in the Town of Berwyn Heights.

Historic Context

The Bonnet-Duck House is located in Berwyn Heights, which was subdivided by Edward Graves. In 1887, Edward Graves of Washington, DC, purchased 393 acres between Branchville Road and the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad. Graves hired the firm Newby and Howell to survey and plat a subdivision on his newly acquired land.[i] He sold most of the land in 1888 to the Charlton Heights Improvement Company, which began construction of mail-order pattern houses in Charlton Heights, present-day Berwyn Heights.[ii] Within the year, the construction of almost twenty houses was complete. Charlton Heights was heavily promoted as a “modern suburban town of the United States,” a “beautiful suburban retreat” and an “earthly paradise” with easy access to the District of Columbia via a new Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station.[iii] By 1890, Charlton Heights contained a population of “some of the leading people in every walk of life in this vicinity,” who “owing to the number of trains daily, affording quick and easy transportation to the city of Washington…generally experience no difficulty in reaching their desks in good time for any work they may be called upon to perform and for this reason they never tire in sounding the praises of Charlton Heights as a desirable place of residence.”[iv] In 1896, by an act of the Maryland General Assembly, the town was incorporated as Berwyn Heights.[v] A two-block concentration of dwellings remains along Ruatan Street, between Berwyn Road and 60th Avenue. Four of the oldest houses were constructed from mail-order plans with specifications produced by R. W. Shoppells’ Cooperative Building Plan Association of New York City.[vi] A second phase of construction occurred in the 1920s, followed by the final period of development in the post World War II years.

The property at 5617 Seminole Street was sold on March 2, 1892 by the Charlton Heights Improvement Company to Mary Bonnet for $850. The deed included the sale of Lots 9, 10, and the western one-half of Lot 8 in Block 7 of the Edward Graves Subdivision of Charlton Heights. It stipulated that “when a building is erected thereon” it had to be 40 feet back from the building line “nor shall spirituals or malt liquor be sold.”[vii] The purchase price of $850, along with the stipulation in the deed, suggests the lots were not improved when Bonnet purchased them in March 1892.

Mary Bonnet was born in 1865 to American parents and her husband, Peter Louis Bonnet, was born in August of 1857 in Virginia. The son of English immigrants, Bonnet was employed as a tailor.[viii] Mary and Peter Bonnet had two sons at the time of the 1900 census. George Bonnet was born in 1885 and Frank Bonnet followed in 1895. According to a Washington Post article the Bonnets initially moved to Charlton Heights in 1890: “Peter Bonnet has just completed a handsome residence on Duncanson Avenue, and will take his family out from the city this week.”[ix] Duncanson Avenue is no longer a valid street name in Berwyn Heights and it can be surmised that this article described another dwelling or the date of the article is incorrect.[x] Additionally, there are no deeds recorded prior to 1892 from the Charlton Heights Improvement Company to any member of the Bonnet family. In fact, according to the 1890 city directory, the Bonnet family resided at 926 E Street, N.W., Washington, DC.[xi] Thus, it has been concluded that the Bonnet-Duck House, upon completion in 1892, was utilized as an income-producing investment; family income was supplemented by renting rooms in their Washington, DC. home to boarders.[xii]

In 1894, the property was conveyed to John Conrad Bonnet for $1,700.[xiii] A family tie between Peter Louis Bonnet and John Conrad Bonnet could not be found, yet it is likely that they were brothers. Born in 1834 in Germany, John Conrad Bonnet was married to Maria Bonnet, who was also born in Germany. The couple had fifteen children, of which only six survived into adulthood. The only children that could be positively identified were Emily and Gustav, both born in England. In 1890, John Conrad Bonnet arrived in America via the Port of Baltimore aboard the Carthaginian.[xiv] The Carthaginian made ports of call in Liverpool, England; Queenstown, Ireland; St. Johns, Newfoundland; and Halifax, Nova Scotia, before arriving in Baltimore. According to the census records, Bonnet was engaged in the real estate business.[xv] In 1897, ownership of the rental property on Seminole Street in Berwyn Heights was transferred to his wife, Maria Bonnet.[xvi] Maria Bonnet moved to Berwyn Heights following the death of her husband. She transferred ownership of the house at 5617 Seminole Street in 1905 to her son, Gustav Andolph Bonnet.[xvii] Gustav Bonnet, born c. 1877, emigrated from England in 1894, the same year his father, John Conrad Bonnet, purchased the Bonnet-Duck House. At the time of the 1910 U.S. Federal Census, Gustav Bonnet is documented as working as a secretary.[xviii] Gustav Bonnet and his wife, Alice, did not live in Berwyn Heights; rather they resided in Washington, D.C. The dwelling was probably used as rental property during the tenure of the Bonnet family.

By this time, Lot 11 had become associated with the Bonnet-Duck House. In 1894, James E. Waugh and his wife, Sarah, conveyed Lot 11 to John Conrad Bonnet for $500.[xix] Covenants attached to this property suggest that no building had yet been built. In 1897, Bonnet conveyed the property to his son, Gustav Adolph Bonnet.[xx]

In 1915, the Gustav Bonnet family conveyed the entire parcel, consisting of Lots 9, 10, 11 and western one-half of Lot 8, to Jennie M. and John D. Bonnefond.[xxi] Bonnefond, born 1860, was a house carpenter, who worked with his son, John M. Bonnefond.[xxii] In 1920, the property was conveyed to the younger Bonnefond by his father.[xxiii] In 1928, after defaulting on their mortgage, the Bonnefond’s property was sold at public auction. The highest bidder was Nettie V. Carr, who purchased the parcel for $3,950.[xxiv] Carr also defaulted on her mortgage. In 1936, the property was sold at public auction to L. Winifred Isaacs for $2,975.[xxv] No information about L. Winifred or Arthur K. Isaacs could be located.

In 1938, the property was conveyed to George F. Stalcup.[xxvi] No records about Stalcup or his wife, Elaine Wanner Stalcup, could be located. In 1943, the Stalcups sold the property to Abraham I. Wanner and his wife, Lenore Wanner.[xxvii] It is likely that Abraham I. Wanner was the nephew of George F. and Elaine Wanner Stalcup.

The property was purchased by Donald D. Duggan and his wife, Clementine, in 1945.[xxviii] The Duggans most likely did not live in Berwyn Heights, instead, opting to rent the Bonnet-Duck House and live in Arlington, Virginia. Mr. Duggan, born in 1904 in Honey Creek, Iowa, served for 45 years in the postal inspection service, ending his tenure as deputy chief. During World War II (1941-1945) he served in the Army Reserve as chief inspector for the Army postal service at the Pentagon. Duggan would later serve as a civilian on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur in Japan from 1948 to 1952, working on the rehabilitation of the Japanese postal service. In 1967, the Japanese government honored Duggan with the Second Order of the Sacred Treasure in recognition of his service.[xxix] In 1947, after two years of ownership, the Duggans conveyed the property to Herman F. Fleck and Adelheid F. Fleck.[xxx] In 1928, Herman Fleck, born in 1885, married Adelheid Lorenz (born 1901). The Flecks had one daughter, Ursula.

In 1951, the property was bought by Newal S. and Marian J. Isaacs. A relationship between L. Winifred Isaacs and the later Newal S. and Marian J. Isaacs family could not be positively determined, although it is possible that one exists. In 1956, the Isaacs sold the property to Bernard F. Duck and Ruth M. Duck.[xxxi]

The Ducks had seventeen children, one of whom was deaf. Ruth Duck was a volunteer religion teacher for Catholic students at the Maryland School for the Deaf in Frederick for about 10 years, beginning in the late 1960s. She was also an amateur painter in the Impressionist style, with several community art awards to her credit.[xxxii] Bernard Duck served in World War II, although his rank and deployment are unknown. He also served as president of the Myersville Lion’s Club.[xxxiii] In 1976, the Ducks moved from Berwyn Heights to Myersville and conveyed the property to their daughter, Shelia M. Duck.[xxxiv] Ms. Duck continues to live in the Bonnet-Duck House, marking 53 years of ownership by the Duck family in 2009.
