Built in 1887 -- The McEwen House is a 2-1/2-story,
multi-gabled frame house, with Rockville bays, panelled
gables, fishscale shingles, and windows with colored border lights. It was one of the early houses in the subdivision
of Hyattsville, built for Clarence McEwen from a house
pattern distributed by R. W. Shoppell's Cooperative Building Plan Association. The house is a fine example of
Queen Anne-style architecture.
