Riversdale Mansion

Our restaurant is named for "Riversdale", the Calvert Mansion located in the town of Riverdale, Prince Georges County. The Mansion was built from 1801 to 1803 by Henri Joseph Stier of Belgium and is a National Historic Landmark.

This magnificent Federal structure became the home of his daughter, Rosalie Eugenia, who married George Calvert, grandson of the fifth Lord Baltimore.

Under the stewardship of their son, Charles Benedict Calvert, the 2,000 acre estate was an agricultural showplace and a portion of the property became the campus of the Maryland Agricultural College through Calvert's efforts as the principle founder. Today this is the University of Maryland at College Park. For over a quarter century in Riverdale, patrons have enjoyed Calvert hospitaly which was the tradition at "Riversdale".
