Beverly is a historic home located in Pocomoke City, Worcester County, Maryland, United States. It is a ​2 12-story, Georgian-style Flemish bond brick house built about 1770. The house faces the Pocomoke River. An original circular ice house survives on the property.[2]

Beverly was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
