Ashburton House, National Historic Landmark in Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C., United States.
The Ashburton House stands as a three-and-a-half-story structure with a mansard roof, displaying French Second Empire architectural elements near Lafayette Square.
Built in 1836, the residence gained prominence when Lord Ashburton lived there during negotiations that led to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842.
The building demonstrates the evolution of American diplomatic relations through its role in resolving border disputes between the United States and British Canada.
St. John's Episcopal Church maintains the building as a parish hall, offering meeting spaces and offices following a substantial renovation completed in 2018.
The parlor of this house witnessed the negotiations that ended the Aroostook War and established major segments of the United States-Canada border.
