George Washington House, Bladensburg
69-005-02 (NR) 4302 Baltimore Avenue
Built circa 1760—The George Washington House is a
2˝-story, side-gabled brick structure, with a two-story porch and a
rear wing of frame construction. It was built originally as a store,
part of a commercial complex which included a tavern and a
blacksmith shop. In the mid-nineteenth century, the building was
converted to serve as a tavern, a use that continued for
approximately a century. It presently houses offices. It is an
important landmark in the Bladensburg community.
Status:
The Anacostia Watershed Society has nearly completed an extensive
restoration and adaptive reuse project including restoration of the
main brick structure and front porches.
