The Mount Rainier Historic District is a national historic district located at Mount Rainier, Prince George's County, Maryland, originally a streetcar suburb located northeast of Washington, D.C. The district has the varied and picturesque character, laid over a gently rolling, formerly rural landscape, developed ca. 1900 to 1940. The district contains more than 1,000 buildings, which are modestly scaled, detached, single-family, frame houses sited closely together with common setbacks. The district buildings consist primarily of single-family homes, with some small apartment buildings, the occasional duplex, and the single family residence that incorporates a small storefront, usually located at the corner of an intersection interspersed. With the exception of five churches and a bank building known to have been designed by local architects, the remainder of the district's buildings are vernacular in inspiration. Some homes contain Queen Anne detailing.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
