Liriodendron is a historic home and estate located in Bel Air, Harford County, Maryland. Constructed about 1898, the estate served as the summer home of Laetitia and Dr Howard Kelly, a successful surgeon and founding member of the Johns Hopkins Medical College. The property consists of the mansion named Liriodendron, the Graybeal-Kelly House, a c. 1835 bank barn, a c. 1898 carriage house, a c. 1850 board-and-batten cottage, and five other outbuildings including a corn crib, a smokehouse, two ice houses, and a shed.
The 2+1⁄2-story, stuccoed brick mansion was designed by the architectural firm of Wyatt and Nolting in the Georgian Revival style. Before the mansion was constructed, the 2+1⁄2-story Georgian-style Graybeal-Kelly House served as the manor house for the farm. Today, the estate is used as a wedding, conference, and arts facility.
Liriodendron was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
