• Alms House Superintendent Facility - Forestville MD
    The original Alms House of Prince George's County on this site dated back to the late 18th century. The Alms House provided a place of shelter for indigents, paupers, disabled and other citizens without financial support. Many of these people were also buried in the Alms House cemetery. In 1935, the WPA built a house for the superintendent of the Alms House. The Alms House, and the surrounding structures no longer exist. One grave marker remains at the site of the former charitable facilities.
