Col. John Eager Howard (1752-1827)
of "Belvidere" Baltimore; U.S. Senator & Governor of Maryland
He built "Belvidere" (see images) on his estate outside Baltimore. His heirs sold the property in 1841 to John S. McKim and the house was razed in 1875-1876 to make way for the extension of Calvert Street. For seven days in 1800 he was President Pro Tempore of the U.S. Senate.
