Summary

Significance: The Shoppell Design #216 house, currently referred to as the O'Dea House, is representative of the early suburban development of Prince George's County, an important aspect of its late 19th-century growth. It is an excellent example of a middle-class Queen Anne style suburban dwelling house. As typical of suburban houses of this era, the design for the house came from a builder's pattern book. The pattern was distributed by the Cooperative Building Plan Association, Robert W. Shoppell architect and president, and was one of the first houses he constructed in this community by the Charlton Heights Improvement Company,in 1888.
