The first house in the area was a two-story brick house named Pleasant Prospect, built around the end of the 18th century by Dr. Isaac Ducket, the husband of Sprigg's granddaughter. He also doubled the size of the estate.
Pleasant Prospect was inherited by Ducket's son-in-law, John Contees, who became indebted and sold the estate to the Bowies, then the Washington D. C. lumber magnates the Walkers, whose family still owns the house, now under the estate of Edward S. Walker. Pleasant Prospect's address is 12806 Woodmore Road.
