Summary
Significance: The Girl Scout Teahouse at Hains Point is significant in that it represents an early park pavilion structure designed to provide food service to visitors who motored to Hains Point by automobile. Since 1920 the Girl Scouts had operated a refreshment concession stand at Hains point. In 1923 and 1924, this elaborate new shelter and comfort station were erected at the Point. The teahouse became and early facility for automobile visitation to the nation's capital when patterns of visitation were changing and the public began visiting Washington by automobile. The teahouse also represents the effective use of a modified classical revival architectural style for a park pavilion building.
