<P><EM>At least one small contingent of the army that wrest the colonies from George III was headquartered in Waverly. On the modern site of Saint Johnʼs Church a stone barracks was built to house soldiers of the Revolution. Again during the War of 1812 the barracks served as a rest center for weary troopers. And it was this same barracks that became Waverlyʼs first schoolhouse as well as headquarters for the village magistrate.</EM></P>
<P><EM></EM> </P>
<P><EM>General Sam Smith, heroic defender of Baltimore during the War of 1812, chose Waverly as the site for his own lofty estate, Montebello. This architectural gem with its magnificantly columned veranda stood at the east end of Thirty-Third Street until its destruction in 1907. </EM></P></DIV>
