La Vale Tollgate House is a historic toll house in La Vale, Allegany County, Maryland, United States. It is a two story brick structure built in 1835-1836, with seven sides--a basic polygon plan. A one-story Tuscan-columned porch extends around the five outer sides of the polygonal portion. On top is a non-functional reconstructed cupola. The building served as a toll house on the Cumberland or National Road and was the first such structure to be erected.[2]
La Vale Tollgate House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
