| 説明 | Standing on the porch of Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. I'm looking southeast toward Washington, D.C. To the left is one of exactly two flagpoles at Arlington National Cemetery. This flagpole was probably erected some time between 1861 and 1864 (just when is unclear). The flag is raised to to the top each morning, and then lowered to half-mast in respect of the constant burials going on at the cemetery. In the evening, it is raised to the top again, and then lowered and taken down.The marble table-like structure to the right is the 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.The Potomac River is just visible in the middle distance, through the trees.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. |
