Germantown, Maryland is home to this interesting relic of the roadside. A great example of programmatic architure, the cider barrel was built in 1923, and sold cider, hence its name and shape. With a new development behind it, here’s how it looks today.

I added your Blog to mine under the link list “Boomer Memories with a Concentration on DC & MD.”
When I was young my parents visited my Aunt in Damascus many times. We stopped at the Cider Barrel often. Keep up the good work with the memories.
