Dumbarton House, Historic Federal mansion in Georgetown, United States.
The Dumbarton House spans an acre of gardens and contains period furniture, silver pieces, and ceramics from the early nineteenth century.
Joseph Nourse, the first Register of the United States Treasury, acquired the residence at auction in 1804 and lived there until selling it in 1813.
The National Society of Colonial Dames of America maintains the site as a museum that illustrates domestic life during the early American Republic period.
The museum welcomes visitors for self-guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 AM and 3 PM with an admission fee of 10 dollars.
In 1915, workers moved the entire structure 60 feet south from its original location to accommodate the construction of a bridge over Rock Creek.
