Newton D. Baker House

The three-story brick and limestone residence at 3017 N Street features symmetrical windows, decorative cornices, and a wide limestone stairway entrance.

Secretary of War Newton Baker resided in this 1794 mansion from 1916 to 1920, overseeing America's mobilization during World War I.

The property reflects the architectural preferences of wealthy Georgetown residents in the late 18th century through its Federal style design elements.

Located at an elevation of 31 meters, the mansion includes three floors above ground and one basement level for additional storage space.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy selected this Georgetown residence as her temporary home following President Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
