Did you know that today is National Arabian Horse Day? In honor of these beautiful animals, I wanted to highlight Al Marah, a neighborhood in Bethesda MD which was an Arabian Horse farm from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Now the community is a mixture of traditionally styled homes on quarter acre and larger lots. Many of them were built by Mitchell and Best, a local builder of quality homes.
