Tudor Place

Tudor Place is a Federal-style mansion in Georgetown built for Thomas Peter and Martha Parke Custis Peter, Martha Washington’s granddaughter, on land from the Rock of Dumbarton tract. After unfinished wings were begun by Francis Lowndes, Dr. William Thornton designed the central block and connecting sections, creating the house’s notable stuccoed composition and temple-like porch. The estate became a center of family and political life, hosted prominent visitors, and preserved major Washington family relics, including the largest public collection of George and Martha Washington objects outside Mount Vernon. It also reflects the labor and lives of enslaved people inherited and held there, a central part of its history.
