Thomas Law House, Federal architecture residence in Southwest Washington, United States
The Thomas Law House features symmetrical brick facades, multi-pane windows, and balanced proportions characteristic of early American architectural design at 1252 6th Street.
Constructed in 1794 by James Greenleaf's syndicate, the residence gained recognition when Thomas Law and Eliza Parke Custis, Martha Washington's granddaughter, spent their honeymoon there.
The Federal-style residence stands as a testament to late 18th-century social structures and architectural preferences of Washington D.C.'s wealthy citizens.
Located at coordinates 38.8761, -77.0199, the Thomas Law House maintains its position on the National Register of Historic Places since August 14, 1973.
The building transformed from a private residence to the Mount Vernon Hotel during the Civil War and later served as Washington Sanitarium's Mission Hospital.
