Mormon Temple and Forest Glen, MD

Morris Marks and his partners developed a large tract of single family homes in Forest Glen, which is adjacent to Silver Spring, MD. In the mid-1960s the Mormon Church purchased land in that development from Morris in order to build its Washington DC Temple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ayrlawn Development, Bethesda, MD

Morris Marks was the driving force behind this large subdivision of post World Ware II lots built under the GI bill. The single family dwellings were being mass-produced from excavating the basements to the final landscaping in only ten days. Built of solid masonry, they sold for $12,000. During their construction, a dozen bricklayers and carpenters worked on them simultaneously. Currently the homes, near the center of Bethesda, are valued at about $1.2 million each.
