Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "Nearby, at the intersection of Main Street and Jacob Tome Memorial Highway (Md. Rt. 276), is the Bank of Cecil. Built of concrete on a stone base during the first part of the 20th century, this building is an interesting and well-executed Mannerist design. Large keystones look as if they are slipping through their flat arches over windows and the front entrance; sills are supported on scrolled brackets; and a Doric entablature surrounds the building. Just north of Main Street on Tome Highway is Howard M.E. Church (J.853) . Now in ruins, it was built by blacks and was part of the underground railroad."
