Notes
  • See also HALS VA-10 for related documentation.
  • Significance: Arlington House, unique in its association with the Custis, Washington, and Lee families, is celebrated as one of the nation's most significant houses, from both historical and architectural standpoints. Esteemed as one of the earliest and most important examples of the Greek Revival style in the United States, the house is especially notable for its magnificent siting and for its boldly scaled portico, intended to be impressively viewed from the city of Washington across the Potomac River. In turn, the house provides a spectacular and sublime vista of the Capital City, with whose history that of Arlington House is intimately entwined.
