Liriodendron, designed in 1897 by the
Baltimore architect J.B. Noel Wyatt, was the summer
residence of Dr. Howard A. Kelly, one of the "Big
Four" physicians of Johns Hopkins Medical School.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
The Palladian mansion has been
described as "belonging on the cliffs of Newport,
rather than on the western edge of Bel Air in Harford
County".
The buildings and 108 acres of
woodlands are owned by Harford County as part of
Heavenly Waters Park. In 1980, with the
encouragement of the county government, the Liriodendron
Foundation, Inc., a non-profit Maryland
corporation, was created to manage the property for
public benefit and to raise funds for its support.
