Notes
  • Significance: The Cottage is an excellent example of a mid 19th-century Prince George's County plantation house in the side-hall-and-double-parlor plan, with Greek revival detailing. This dwelling type was popular among the wealthy planter and merchant class during the early and mid 19th century. Having been built in three descending sections, The Cottage is also a very good example of architectural telescoping. It remains as one of six frame dwellings in the Upper Marlboro area built or acquired for the heirs of Thomas Clagett VI of Weston. The Cottage is also of interest for its historic outbuildings and landscaping. It has a number of noteworthy outbuildings, including an unusually large ice house and a tobacco barn with an intact tobacco press. The terraced front lawn, edged with boxwood, is a significant landscape feature, and adds to the prominence of the house on its site when viewed from the west.
