Arlington House"Arlington House is uniquely associated with the families of Washington, Custis, and Lee for it was built by George Washington Park Custis. After his father died, young Custis was raised by his grandmother and her second husband, George Washington at Mount Vernon. Custis, a farsighted agricultural pioneer, painter, playwright, and orator, was interested in perpetuating the memory and principles of George Washington. His house, begun in 1802 but not completed until 1817, became a "treasury" of Washington heirlooms. Arlington House, named after the Custis family's homestead of Virginia's Eastern Shore, was built on a 445-hectare (1,100-acre) estate that Custis' father, John Parke Custis, purchased in 1778."Link to National Park Service page: http://www.nps.gov/archive/gwmp/arl_hse.html
