Stone Cottage

Stone Cottage is a residential building in Cumberland featuring traditional masonry work from early American architecture. The structure displays characteristic stonework and a solid construction style typical of homes built during the settlement era in Western Maryland.

The cottage was built during Cumberland's settlement period and shows architectural influences from European immigrants who brought their building techniques to the region. Stonemasons from England and Germany established construction methods that shaped residential buildings throughout Western Maryland.

The cottage displays the craftsmanship of local stonemasons who built homes using stone quarried from the surrounding Appalachian region.

The cottage sits near the Appalachian Trail and offers easy access to hiking routes and outdoor recreation areas. Checking locally for current visitor access and conditions before your visit is recommended since this is a historic property.

The original stone facade and architectural elements remain intact after more than a century. This durability reveals why settlers chose stone as their primary building material in the Appalachian region.
