Old Stone House Park in Washington, D.C., is a significant landmark that holds the distinction of being the oldest structure on its original foundation in the city. Constructed in 1766 during the British colonial period, the house witnessed historical events such as the British invasion of Washington, D.C., in 1814.
Originally preserved due to mistaken identity and a desire to honor George Washington, the Old Stone House stands as a testament to pre-Revolutionary architecture. It transitioned from being the site of a car dealership to a public space managed by the National Park Service since 1960, offering visitors a glimpse into the past with artifacts like a clock crafted by previous owner John Suter, Jr.
