The Seven Buildings was a complex of seven row houses whose two surviving facades are incorporated into the Embassy of Mexico. At the dawn of the 1800s, the complex housed the Declaration of Independence. It later served as one of the early homes of the Department of State. Most famously, President James Madison and his wife Dolly lived there between 1815 and 1817 while the White House was being rebuilt after the War of 1812.
