Or so it was known for years, now it is the more bland Arlington House, a striking home that commands an amazing view of Washington, DC. Owned by Lee through his marriage to a descendant of Martha Custis Washington, the Lees lived here from 1831 to the start of the Civil War and Lee never returned. The government turned the grounds into what is now Arlington National Cemetery. In this photo you see both the front of the house and the Kennedy Graves with the eternal flame.
