(2006) Andrew Low House
After her marriage, Juliette Low lived in this 1848 house, and it was here
where she actually founded the Girl Scouts. She died on the premises in
1927. The classic mid-19th-century house facing Lafayette Square is of
stucco over brick with elaborate ironwork, shuttered piazzas, carved
woodwork, and crystal chandeliers. William Makepeace Thackeray visited
here twice (the desk at which he worked is in one bedroom), and Robert E.
Lee was entertained at a gala reception in the double parlors in 1870 |
