Tudor Place

Tudor Place Review

Stop at Q Street between 31st and 32nd streets; look through the trees to the north, at the top of a sloping lawn, and you can see the neoclassical Tudor Place, designed by Capitol architect Dr. William Thornton and completed in 1816. On a house tour you can see Francis Scott Key's desk, items that belonged to George Washington, and spurs belonging to soldiers who were killed in the Civil War. You can only visit the house by guided tour (reservations are advised), but afterward you can wander freely, or picnic in the formal garden, full of roses and boxwoods, many planted in the early 19th century.
