Summary

| Description |
English: Standing on the driveway in front of Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. I'm looking east-southeast toward Washington, D.C. The big glassed-in structure center-left is the Arlington National Cemetery Visitors' Center, an $18.7 million structure which opened on January 16, 1990.
The main beige-looking strip is the sidwalk paralleling Memorial Drive. Beyond Memorial Drive is Memorial Bridge, which opened in 1932. The Lincoln Memorial is just visible at the end of Memorial Bridge. The red roofs of the Federal Triangle complex of buildings is to the right and behind the Lincoln Memorial. The tall building is the Old Post Office Pavilion, and to the right is the shaft of the Washington Monument. Arlington House was built by George Washington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington, in 1803. George Hadfield, also partially designed the United States Capitol, designed the mansion. The north and south wings were completed between 1802 and 1804. but the large center section and portico were not finished until 1817. George Washington Parke Custis died in 1857, leaving the Arlington estate and house to his eldest daughter, Mary Custis Lee -- wife of General Robert E. Lee. |
