Silver Spring, Maryland - Big Acorn A Gazebo shaped like a giant acorn. Looks much larger than the
"world's largest acorn" from your listings. You can get married in it. [Douglas McCallum, 06/02/2001][RA: The giant acorn gazebo, built before the Civil War, is in Acorn Park, natch. February 2008: Photo added.]
Silver Spring, Maryland - Acorn-shaped shelter A small urban park dominated by a huge acorn shaped shelter. Many folks think this is the location of the "ORIGINAL" Silver Spring, but the water fountain spouts pure filtered Potomac River, courtesy Washington Sub. San. Commission.

Towers apartment complex. [James Lehman, Jr., 04/08/2001]
