Summary
[edit]DescriptionArlington House - looking east past grave of LEnfant at DC from driveway - 2011.jpg |
English: Standing on the driveway in front of Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. I'm looking northeast toward Washington, D.C.
The marble table-like structure is the Neoclassical tomb of Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who designed the city of Washington. L'Enfant was originally been buried at Green Hill, a friend's estate in Maryland. But in 1911, he was disinterred and buried with full honors overlooking the city he helped build. Four graves are located on the front lawn of Arlington House. The U.S. Army and the National Park Service would like to move the four graves (which includes L'Enfant's) to another location in order to improve the view. But this controversial decision has not been implemented despite being made decades ago. Leading away toward the city are Memorial Drive and Memorial Bridge, which link Arlington visually with the Lincoln Memorial. 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. |
