The two most physically prominent structures in Bryantown are Evergreen and the Smith House; both built near the turn of the 20th century. Evergreen is the finest example of Victorian Carpenter Gothic architecture in Charles County. Also built early in the 20th century are the John T. Mudd House and the Carrico House, both of which are two-story, three-bay dwellings architecturally typical of a rural community in this region. There are also two, two-story, gambrel-roofed tobacco barns located near the northwest corner of the village that preserve the community's ties to the agricultural region it once served and the mid-19th century storehouses of "Boarman and Mudd" and "William N. Bean & Co."[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
