Built in 1891, the Cory House is a two-and-one-halfstory, cross-gabled frame house with well-defined pediments and Queen Anne-style decorative details, including fish-scale shingles within the gables, multilight windows, and corbeled and ribbed chimneys. One of the first houses built in the 1889 subdivision of College Park, it was the home of entomologist Ernest Cory from 1926–1975; Cory added the north wing in 1926 and planted the large private garden on the grounds.
College Park Woman’s Club 4711 Knox Road College Park (City of College Park)
Originally constructed as a farm building on the Calverts’ Riversdale estate, this is one of only two surviving outbuildings from that large plantation. Built in 1817, the structure was used as a church since 1872. The building was acquired by St. Andrew’s Church after 1930 and then used as a parish hall. The buttresses were added after 1912. The main entry door was changed to a window in 1957, when it was purchased by the Progress Club, later known as the College Park Woman’s Club, which used the building as their headquarters. It is now owned by the City of College Park and used as a public meeting place. 47
