Dundalk-Liberty-Cornwall Gardens

About this property

The Dundalk, Liberty, and Cornwall Gardens are a trio of historic apartment complexes on Dunmanway in Dundalk, Maryland, United States. They consist of a total of 30 two-story brick Colonial Revival style buildings, which were built between 1937 and 1942, and contain garden-style apartments. Construction of the buildings was funded in part by grants from the Federal Housing Authority, whose principles guided the layout of the buildings to maximize natural light, and allow for the creation of car-free landscaped courtyards. As a result, the complexes also include separate garage buildings where residents could leave their cars. Each complex has features that distinguish it from the others.

Location

Federal Designation

The National Register of Historic Places, administered by the National Park Service, is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical, architectural, archaeological, engineering, or cultural significance. Listing on the National Register recognizes a property's importance to American history but does not place restrictions on private owners; it does, however, make properties eligible for federal historic preservation tax incentives and enables consideration in federal planning decisions. This property is recorded in the National Register under reference number 11000700. It was listed on September 22, 2011.
