Charles Carroll IV (1775-1825)

He was educated in France before returning to Maryland to manage the family estates. He designed Homewood House on the land that was gifted to him by his father as a wedding present. Charles was an alcoholic and in 1816 his wife and children left Homewood for a house in Philadelphia. His father bought back Homewood in 1824 in an attempt to put right his "most improvident waste". Charles died from alcohol the following year.
