Melwood Park, Georgian building in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, United States.

The two-and-a-half-story brick structure exhibits Flemish bond construction with large windows, balanced proportions, and symmetrical architectural elements throughout the exterior.

Construction of Melwood Park dates back to 1714, when timbers were felled for the initial building phase under the ownership of the Digges family.

The dining room displays traditional floor-to-ceiling panels and decorative elements that reflect the architectural preferences of Maryland's colonial period residents.

The property maintains its structural authenticity through continuous restoration efforts, allowing visitors to examine original Georgian architectural features.

During the War of 1812, British forces established a temporary camp at Melwood Park during their advance toward Washington, D.C.
