Dumbarton Historic District is a national historic district in Pikesville, Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. The suburban subdivision features curvilinear streets, generously sized lots, and naturalistic landscaping that generally reflect design principles associated with Frederick Law Olmsted. These features characterized the Roland Park Company’s seminal developments. Many of subdivision's original residents were prominent Jewish merchants and industrialists, most of whom were of German descent.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
