Third Addition to Rockville and Old St. Mary's Church and Cemetery

The Third Addition to Rockville features narrow tree-lined streets, a country church, weathered headstones, and a Victorian Gothic railroad station spanning 7 acres.

The site obtained National Register of Historic Places status in 1978, preserving multiple architectural styles including Victorian Gothic, Queen Anne, Georgian, and Colonial Revival structures.

St. Mary's Cemetery contains the graves of author F. Scott Fitzgerald, his wife Zelda, and their daughter Frances, marking its connection to American literature.

The district maintains several 19th-century residential buildings, a cast-iron front commercial structure, and Montgomery County's first brick Roman Catholic church for visitors to explore.
