| 説明 | Standing on the front driveway of Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. I'm looking north-northeast at the mansion.Arlington House was the first temple-form home built in the United States. 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 wing was constructed first, and shortly thereafter the south wing began to be built. Hadfield's design for the center portion of the house meant that the facade of the north wing was rebuilt to match that of the rest of the house. The north and south wings were completed between 1802 and 1804, but the large center section and portico were not finished until 1817.There are eight Doric pillars each in the front, each pillar five feet in diameter. Each pillar is covered in plaster, and the plaster painted to look like marble.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. |
