Sudbrook Park

The community dates to 1889 when it was designed by American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. (1822–1903) and developed by the Sudbrook Company.

Known most for designing well-known urban projects like Central Park in New York City, Olmsted conceived this "suburban village" with curved roads and open green spaces, traits that set the community apart from its contemporaries.

Two homes in the district were designed by architect George Archer in the Colonial Revival style.

One of Sudbrook Park's unique features is the one-lane bridge that crosses over Western Maryland Railway.

It reopened about a year later with an asphalt pavement, retaining its one-lane status in order to preserve the community's historic charm.
