Description
Arlington House sits atop the highest hill in Arlington National Cemetery and gives visitors an excellent view of nearby Washington, DC. The Greek Revival-styled mansion was built between 1808 and 1818 by George Washington Parke Custis, George Washington’s step-grandson. In 1831, Custis’ daughter Mary Anna Randolph Custis, married Robert E. Lee, who three decades later would lead the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. The Lees, who inherited the 1,100-acre estate upon the death of Mr. Custis in 1857, would lose the entire property to the United States government during the war, and the land became what is known today as Arlington National Cemetery, the nation’s premier burial ground. (The house is also known as the National Robert E. Lee Memorial, which commemorates the man not for what he did during the Civil War, but for his efforts to unify the United States in the remaining years of his life following the war.)
