F. Julius LeMoyne House, Historic house museum in Washington, United States

The three-story stone residence at 49 East Maiden Street features Greek Revival architecture with two entrance porticoes and long narrow attic windows.

Built in 1812, this house belonged to physician Francis Julius LeMoyne, who operated it as a station on the Underground Railroad before 1850.

The residence contains exhibits about abolitionist movements and includes a military museum room displaying Civil War artifacts and uniforms.

The Washington County Historical Society manages guided tours throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore the preserved 19th-century interiors.

Dr. LeMoyne established the first human crematory in the western hemisphere and founded LeMoyne-Owen College for freed slaves in Memphis, Tennessee.
