Significance: This culvert headwall is part of the Suitland Parkway. The Parkway was constructed as a defense access road to Andrews Air Force Base from the District of Columbia. The concept of the parkway called for a layout which complied with the design principles of parkway road design. This includes the use of such elements as stone walls, wood post and guardrails, and stone headwalls. The original stone structure still in place exemplifies the historic significance of the headwall. The Henson Creek stone culvert headwall is typical of what is present throughout the parkway.
