Cumberland, MD

Emmanuel Episcopal Parish House

16 Washington St.

Built in 1903

 

The Cumberland Parish House was built in 1903 and designed by Cumberland native Bruce Price before developing a successful career in New York. The parish house features elements typical of French Second Empire style, such as a projecting pavilion, tall windows and roof, and deep architectural details.

 

The parish house and church (next door) sit on land that was originally Fort Cumberland, which served as a frontier outpost during the French and Indian War. The house is a contributing building to the Washington Street Historic District
