Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt signed paperwork Jan. 13 designating the Frieda Fromm-Reichmann Cottage, at 19 Thomas St. in the city’s West End, as Rockville’s first National Historic Landmark.

Located on the former grounds of Chestnut Lodge sanitarium and restored by Peerless Rockville, the 1936 home, also known as Frieda’s Cottage, served as home and office for Dr. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, a pioneering psychiatrist in the treatment of schizophrenia.

It joins a small number of National Historic Landmarks in Montgomery County, including the Clara Barton House in Glen Echo and the Rachel Carson House in Silver Spring.
