The Hamilton House in Arlington. A descendent of George Washington was the sole heir of this home, which had much of the original furniture from Mt. Vernon, and then the descendent married Robert E. Lee. So the home became the home of the confederate general. When the South lost the Civil War, this home was desecrated, including much of what had been George Washington’s property. It has since been restored, and is used as a museum that emphasizes the nuances and inconsistencies in painting history in black and white.
