Summary
Significance: The two-and-a half story Commandant's House at the Washington Navy yard was built near 1801 as a part of the initial development of the Yard as this Nation's most important naval installation. Though the house was not large, it was added to and kept its formal air in spite of considerable remodelling. The house had a Victorian flavor in the 1960's but the original fabric showed physical evidence of having been quite Georgian.
