Now on to more sight seeing!

The Old Stone House is the oldest standing building in Washington, D.C. and the last Pre-Revolutionary Colonial building on its original foundation.  The lot was purchased in 1764 for one pound, ten shillings.



The original house was only one story high but later owner added two more floors.



The hearth in the kitchen is large enough to heat the whole house.



The family dined in the dining room on the second floor.  The clock was built in the early 19th century by the owner of the house then. There was a dumbwaiter to transport food from the first floor kitchen to the dining room here.



On the same floor is the master bedroom.





We climb up the narrow stairs and reach the third floor, where the children's bedroom is.
