The Cider Barrel

Germantown, MD

This barrel-shaped building is a surviving example of novelty roadside architecture from the era when businesses were designed to look like the products they sold. The former cider stand is no longer a normal walk-in attraction, but the oversized barrel remains visible from public roadside areas.
