Seven Buildings, Historic townhouses complex at Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, United States.
The Seven Buildings consisted of seven three-story brick townhouses constructed in 1796 at Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 19th Street NW in Washington DC.
Following the burning of the White House in 1814, President James Madison and First Lady Dolley Madison resided at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue from 1815 to 1817.
The structure at 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue functioned as the French Embassy from 1804 to 1811, followed by the British Embassy until the War of 1812.
The Historic American Buildings Survey maintains extensive documentation of these buildings through five photographs available at the Library of Congress.
General George McClellan established military headquarters in these buildings during the Civil War, marking a shift from residential to administrative use.
