Building History

Cumberland is a town nestled in one of the few natural passable cuts in the Allegheny Mountains of Western Maryland and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The town was named in 1786 for Fort Cumberland, which had been built in 1754 and named for William Augustus, duke of Cumberland; the fort was headquarters for George Washington. In its early days it was a transportation hub, a center for the railroad and timber industries, the starting point of the first National Road (now Route 40), and the terminus for the C&O Canal.

Building Services

Housekeeping Service Hours:

Weekdays: Services run from Monday to Friday, starting at 7:30 a.m. and ending by mid-afternoon. We minimize disruption to residents' routines.
Weekends: Reduced service with restrooms and lounges cleaned once on Saturdays. No regular services on Sundays, which is a day off for our staff.
Emergency Services: Our team remains on call at all times. Available 24/7 through our Service Center at 301-314-9675.

Trash Removal

Residents are required to take their trash to the dumpsters outside their buildings. Housekeeping handles trash and recycling removal from lobbies, lounges, laundry rooms, and common bathrooms twice a day, ensuring clean and welcoming common areas.

HVAC System

Air Conditioned Building with Seasonal Transitioning

Cumberland Hall's heating system is activated when the campus transitions to heat, typically in October, based on the forecasted weather. Each room has a convector that circulates warm air from heated water running through the building’s pipes. While residents cannot adjust the temperature or fan speed, Residential Facilities staff monitor the heat supply daily to ensure comfort. All rooms are also equipped with a window AC unit, allowing residents to control the fan speed and mode.
