CAPSULE SUMMARY PG:68-10-83 Burgess House 5201 42nd Place, Hyattsville, MD 20781 c. 1925 Private
A c.1925 one-and-one-half story bungalow-style dwelling of 1,260 square feet, the Burgess House is constructed of
buff-colored vertically-scored brick on a rusticated concrete block foundation. The overhanging roofs are supported
by decorative brackets. Large dormers at front and rear with three ganged six-over-six wood windows characterize
the dwelling. The house, driveway and rear yard occupy the rear 44 feet by the full width of lots 30 and 31;
approximately 4,000 square feet. A concrete driveway is located to the right of the structure, and is separated from
the rear yard by a stockade fence with a gate. The fence encloses the rear yard and runs along the left side of the house
to the front. The front yard consists of lawn bordered by dry-laid pavers.
® The Burgess House is significant as an excellent example of an early twentieth-century brick bungalow in the streetcar suburb of Hyattsville, Maryland. The dwelling is a contributing structure within the Hyattsville National
Register Historic District. In the early twentieth century, Hyattsville expanded rapidly through a series of subdivisions.
The Independent Order of the Odd Fellows, Oriole Lodge No. 47, purchased two lots (30 and 31) on Spencer Street
in 1911. First improving lot 31 in 1921 with their fraternal temple on the northwest corner of Spencer Street and Avon
Avenue, they realized an opportunity to sell the rear 44 feet of both lots in 1922 to Herman Burgess, and finally lot
30 in 1925 to Israel Diamond, both of whom soon improved their property with buildings. The Burgess House, built
on the rear 44 feet of the Odd Fellows' subdivided lots, therefore also exemplifies the rapid growth of the city during
this period. The property remained in the Burgess family for 52 years (1922-1974). It is also significant for its
association with the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows Oriole Lodge No. 47, an important fraternal organization
in tun-of-the-twentieth century Hyattsville, and for its association with Herman Burgess, a prominent Hyattsville
citizen and treasurer of Prince George's County.

SUMMARY
A c. 1925 brick bungalow-style dwelling of 1,260 square feet, the Burgess House is located at 520142nd Place in Hyattsville, Maryland. The house, driveway and rear yard occupy the rear 44 feet by the full width of lots 30 and 3 I , approximately 4,000 square feet. A concrete driveway is located to the right of the structure, and is separated from the rear yard by a stockade fence with a gate. The fence encloses the rear yard and runs along the left side of the house to the front. The front yard consists of lawn bordered by dry-laid pavers.
DWELLING
The Burgess House was constructed c.1925 at 2 Avon Avenue (after August 1941 it was known as 520142nd Place) in Hyattsville, Maryland for Herman E. and Catherine S. Burgess. In overall form and articulation of decorative elements the house is typical of many one-and-one-half story bungalows of the period. Constructed of buff-colored vertically- scored brick laid in running bond on a rusticated cement block foundation, the central section consists of a side-facing gable roof to which front and rear shed-roof wings attach. The roof overhangs the walls and at the side elevations decorative wood brackets are spaced where the roof planes change direction or terminate at a wall plane; i.e., at the central apex, at the juncture of the main mass and the wings, and where the front and rear wall meet the roof. A large dormer with three ganged wood six-over-one sash windows pierces the front and rear roof elevations; the decorative brackets are found here too where the overhanging roof meets the frame walls of the dormer. The brackets consist of a right-angle triangle halved by a center member which protrudes past the hypotenuse of the triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle is inset slightly within the right angles. The right angle of the triangle meets the roof/wall juncture. Wood rafters extend beneath the front and rear roof overhangs, and on the side overhangs of the dormer roofs. The roof is covered with brown asphalt shingles. A central wood front door of contemporary design rests between flanking sets of three ganged six-over-one wood windows. A painted aluminum full-light storm door covers the front door. A transom over the front door has been covered or painted over. The door and windows are capped by rowlock brick resting on steel lintels. Laid in a running bond pattern, the brick window sills continue around the structure to form a belt course. Two ganged six-over-one wood windows are on each side of the front section, making this section read much like a glazed porch. Recessed decorative panels are inset beneath these windows and those on the front elevation. The rusticated concrete block foundation continues past the footprint of the house to form a terrace, the corners of which are rusticated block square newels linked by neoclassical concrete balustrades. The balusters are in the shape of a column with a base, shaft, and capital, the shaft being round and largest near the base, creating a bottle shape. Five concrete steps go down towards the sidewalk and are framed by small concrete block parapets. The entire block and concrete porch is painted white. On the right elevation two six-over-one wood windows are at opposite ends of the central section; a third window just to the left of the window furthest to the rear has been bricked in at a time after the original construction with non-matching brick. As with the windows on the front they are capped with brick rowlocks and the belt course forms the sill. On the upper story a central smaller wood six-over-one window is located in the center and an identical window with vinyl sash is located to the right of it. The windows are topped by rowlocks and have brick sills, and are not ganged but separated by brick. Two square basement windows pierce the concrete block at roughly equidistant locations on either side of the main roof axis. The rear shed roofed section has no windows on this elevation. The rear elevation consists of a door off-center to the left with a window to the right and two windows to the left. Both are like that of the front. A contemporary wood deck running the full width of the building allows access to the back ® door, which appears to be a later replacement. Like the front door the transom is covered; there is a half-light painted Maryland Historical Trust

aluminum storm door. The right elevation of the dwelling is obscured by vegetation and fencing. A brick chimney rises to the right of the main roof apex, piercing the overhanging roof and continuing for approximately three feet. The chimney is corbe]led beneath the top. The firebox is articulated on the exterior and is flanked by dual, nearly square, four-paned wood casement windows. Two six-over-one wood sash windows are to the left of the firebox and flanking windows, and ganged windows like that of the other side complete the "glazed porch" of the front elevation. The interior is notable for its original and unusual first-floor coffered ceiling of varnished wood.
INTEGRITY
The Burgess house retains a high degree of integrity of location, design, setting workmanship and feeling. It retains a medium-high level of materials and association; the exterior doors have been changed and the house is no longer associated with the Burgess family. Overall, however, the dwelling retains a high degree of integrity.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The Burgess House is significant as an excellent example of an early twentiethroentury brick bungalow in the streetcar suburb of Hyattsville, Maryland. The dwelling is a contributing structure within the Hyattsville National Register ® Historic District. In the early twentieth century, Hyattsville expanded rapidly through a series of subdivisions. The Independent Order of the Odd Fellows, Oriole Lodge No. 47, purchased two lots (30 and 31) on Spencer Street in 1911. First improving lot 31 in 1921 with their fraternal temple on the northwest comer of Spencer Street and Avon Avenue, they realized an opportunity to sell the rear 44 feet of both lots in 1922 to Herman Burgess, and finally lot 30 in 1925 to Israel Diamond, both of whom soon improved their property with buildings. The Burgess House, built on the rear 44 feet of the Odd Fellows' subdivided lots, therefore also exemplifies the rapid growth of the city during this period. The property remained in the Burgess family for 52 years (1922-1974). It is also significant for its association with the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows Oriole Lodge No. 47, an important fraternal organization in turnrof-the-twentieth century Hyattsville, and for its association with Herman Burgess, a prominent Hyattsville citizen and treasurer of Prince George's County.
HISTORIC CONTEXT
The City of Hyattsville is an excellent example of the many residential subdivisions that emerged in Prince George's County in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to support the burgeoning population flocking to the nation's capital. The middle-class suburb of Hyattsville, which is framed by major transportation corridors, began to develop as a railroad suburb in the middle part of the nineteenth century and expanded with the early-twentieth-century advent of the streetcar and automobile. The area had its start as a small hamlet known as Beall Town in the eighteenth century, but was soon overshadowed by the prosperous Town of Bladensburg to the south. In the middle of the nineteenth century, the area that has become Hyattsville regained popularity because of its location along the Baltimore and Ohio (8&0) Railroad, which was utilized by local residents for wholesale trade between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, rather than for commuting and leisure travel. Anticipating the development of a residential suburb to serve the growing population of the District of Columbia, Christopher C. Hyatt purchased a tract of land in 1845 adjacent to the 8&0 Railroad and the Washington and Baltimore Turnpike (now Baltimore Avenue) and began to develop town lots. Hyatt's Addition, which was successfully platted in 1873, was followed by numerous additions subdivided by other real estate ® developers. Incorporated in 1886, Hyattsville is significant as the first town in America to attempt the single-tax system, Maryland Historical Trust

only later to be determined unconstitutional in Maryland. Further, Hyattsville was home to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, a public institution established in 1918 that had a significant impact on the mid-twentiethngentury growth of many Maryland suburbs. Despite Hyattsville's advantageous location along the railroad and turnpike, suburban development was slow until the extension of the streetcar lines in 1899. Providing excellent suburban neighborhood living, Hyattsville continued to grow throughout the early twentieth century with no less than twenty-five additions, subdivisions, and re-subdivisions by 1942. The end of the streetcar service and the ever-increasing rise of the automobile transformed Hyattsville into a successful automobile suburb, with a commercial corridor stretching along Baltimore Avenue that represents the city' s several phases of development.
The success of the streetcar, emergence of the automobile and continued growth of Washington, D.C., stimulated residential and commercial construction in Hyattsville. As a result, begirming in the 1920s, the suburb experienced a phase of development that resulted in the coustructi6n of nearly 700 buildings in just thirty years. This included more than 600 dwellings, fifty commercial and industrial resources, three churches, a post office, two schools, a meeting hall, a municipal building, and an automobile repair garage.I As 717ze Wrcrsfoz.#gro# Pos/ reported in the summer of 1924, "Building in Hyattsville is brisk. . .it is estimated for the past three months that $50,000 is being expended in the town in new construction."2
SUBDIVISION OF BUILDING LOTS
The land on which the Burgess House stands was originally a small part of the land of Colonel John Bowie whose house, "Raveuswood," stood where Saint Jerome Academy stands today. Oraveuswood was used for classrooms when the school bought the propeily in 1944, but was later demolished.3) Bowie sold his land to Joseph 8. and Louisa S. Bryan in 1864.4 The Bryans in turn sold 196 acres of their property, including Raveuswood, to George J. Johnson and Louis D. Wine and their wives in 1882.5 Wine and Johnson were speculative real estate developers. Wine and Johnson's First and Second Additious to Hyattsville encompassed 93 building lots, the majority of which measured 50 by 150 feet.6 In 1894 Wine and Johnson sold Ravenswood to Michael V. and Ellen Tiemey.7 Mrs. Tiemey's "Subdivision of Block F, Johnson and Wine's Second Addition to Hyattsville, MD," created Lot 30, the lot on which the Harvey Dairy Store now stands. Flora E. Davis purchased unimproved Lots 27-31 from Ellen Tiemey in 1909,8 and sold Lots 27, 30 and 31 unimproved to William and Mae Holton in 1910.9 The Holtous sold the unimproved lots to the trustees of Oriole

ODD FELLOWS LODGE
The fraternal organization did not immediately improve their property; the comerstone of the temple at 4210 Gallatin Street was laid in 1921 " and the building was completed by 1923.'2 0riole Lodge No. 47 mortgaged lots 30 and 31 in March 1922, presumably to pay for improvements.'3 In 1924, the trustees of the lodge, including August Eugene Burgess, deeded the rear 44 feet of lots 30 and 31 to Herman E. Burgess, August's father.'4 In 1925, the Order sold lot 30 (saving and excepting the rear 44 feet) to builder Israel Diamond, who constructed two speculative stores. See PG:68-10-88.
HERMAN E. AND CATHERINE BURGESS
Herman E. Burgess (1864-1942) was born in a one-room log cabin in Savage, Maryland (Howard County); he worked on a farm and later for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. He learned the building trade at 23t5 and became a builder and contractor in partnership with James H. Parsons. Burgess & Parsons appears to have been a builder of small-to-medium sized commercial structures in Washington, D.C.,'6 specializing in firehouses and schoolhouses.'7 After retiring from the partnership in 1917, Burgess served as a treasurer of Prince George's County and as noble grand of Oriole Lodge No. 47, I.O.O.F. Additionally, he was a member of Mount Hermon Masonic Lodge, also in Hyattsville. He was married to Catherine S. Burgess (1868-1946) and they had a son, August Eugene (]888-1962), and a daughter, Elizabeth Burgess Heiss (b.1890). Both Herman Burgess and his son August Burgess were prolific buyers, sellers and likely improvers of property in Hyattsville: land records record numerous transactions from 1887 onward. According to census data, the Burgess family resided in the District of Columbia in 1900. In May 1909 Herman Burgess purchased 13 Baltimore Street in Hyattsville'8 (after August 1941 the county changed the address and street name to 4516 Burlington Road). The 1920 census shows them to be still living there as owners and occupants;'9 however, they sold the property

early that December.20 The Burgess House does not appear on the August 1922 Sanbom Fire Insurance Maps; it is not shown until the May 1933 map. The Herman Burgess' purchased the property from the lodge in 1924. The 1930 census shows they were living at the Burgess House (2 Avon Avenue) and that it had a value of $7,000. Therefore, it may be surmised the Burgess House was built c. 1925 as a residence for Herman and Catherine Burgess. Possibly either Herman or his son A. Eugene was responsible for the design and/or construction of the house. Although not a copy of a known catalog design of the period, it share similarities with many and was undoubtedly inspired by Morgan, Gordon Van Tine, and others. In January 1927, the Washington, D. C. Eve#j.#g S/c7r noted in it its Society column that "Mr. and Mrs. Harold Heiss have returned to the Concourse Plaza Hotel, New York City, after spending the holidays with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Burgess, parents of Mrs. Heiss."2' According to the Washington, D.C. Eve#j.#g S/or, The Herman Burgess' later resided in the Brookland neighborhood of District of the Columbia.22 The Burgesses were active in the growing Hyattsville community; their names appeared frequently in the Washington, D.C. newspaper social columns in the 1920s. Herman Burgess died in 1942 and Catherine in 1946; their son A. Eugene and daughter Elizabeth inherited the property,23 which in 1952 was transferred to A. Eugene and his wife Rose.24 The A. Eugene Burgess' remained in Hyattsville at 4018 Hamilton Street until his death in 1962.25 Built c.1925, 4018 Hamilton Street is a buff-colored brick bungalow very similar to that of the Burgess House; however, it has a lower degree of integrity. A Eugene Burgess was the owner of a store at the northwest corner of Farragut and Johnson Streets (now 5100 Baltimore Avenue) in the early part of the century. In 1924 7lfec Wczsfez.#g/o# Pos/ reported, "Work of demolishing the store of A. Eugene Burgess at Johnson and Maryland Avenues is practically completed and it is expected Burgess will soon begin erection of a new store on site."26 This three-story building, of buff-colored vertically-scored brick, still stands today. The location is referred to as "Burgess Comer."27
After A. Eugene's death, Rose Burgess became the sole owner of the property, selling it in 1974 to Jack Woods, Jr. and his wife Karen 8. Woods. This ended 52 years of Burgess family involvement with the property, after which the property changed hands approximately ten more times. In 2010 the current owner, Christopher Mullen acquired the property.28 Mr. Mullen granted a perpetual preservation easement to The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 20 I 1 .29
