National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form
The Green Spring Valley Historic District is a suburban area of Baltimore that acquires significance from the collection of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century buildings and for its park-like setting that retains a late 19th-early 20th century atmosphere.
The buildings, primarily houses set among rolling hills, forested highlands, and tree-lined drives and roads, embody the distinctive design characteristics of the major architectural styles popular in the United States from the Neoclassical of the 1700s to the Georgian and other revivals of the pre-1930 period. The buildings also range from modest to elaborate in size and exhibit varying degrees of craftsmanship as well as a record of changes in construction techniques; particularly apparent when contrasting the 18th century masonry houses with the early 20th century bungalow.
As an affluent suburban residential region near Baltimore, the Green Spring Valley Historic District is also important historically for its association with typical patterns of suburban development in the early 20th century.
