Sycamore Cottage is a historic home located at Cambridge, Dorchester County, Maryland, United States. It was built possibly as early as 1765. The house is a 1 12-story gambrel-roofed frame structure. Remodelings during the 19th century include adding Victorian windows, a central Colonial Revival entrance porch, 1840s Greek Revival interior decorative detailing, and the addition of a large one-story meeting hall. It was moved to this location in 1840. Since 1922, Sycamore Cottage has been the headquarters of the Cambridge Woman's Club.[2]

Sycamore Cottage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
