Notes
  • Significance: The house at 12405 Sussex Lane was one of twelve houses, and three Rancher variations, constructed between 1960 and 1967 on Sussex Drive as display models at the sales and exhibit center for Belair at Bowie, Maryland. Number 12405 was one of the eight finished by Levitt and Sons in 1960 to open the development. The display models line the south side of the street, facing north across a grassed park in full view of MD Route 450, which, at the time, was one of the major east-west arteries between Washington and Annapolis. The gable- and hip-roofed variations of the original Rancher were retired as options when the model was redesigned in 1962 and an example built on Sussex Lane. It is not known how the house at number 12405 and its gable-roofed counterpart were used by Levitt and Sons after this time; however, as they were located at the sales and exhibit center, it is unlikely they were sold for residential occupancy, along with the other models, before completion of Belair's single-family sections in 1968.
