Robert E. Lee's. Well, it was actually his wife's house. Arlington was the estate. Lee's wife was a granddaughter of Martha Washington, by her first husband, before George. She inherited the house from her Custis ancestors. Martha was married to a Custis before George.
During the Civil War Montgomery Meigs was the Quartermaster General of the US Army. Among his responsibilities was seeing to burial of Union dead. Available cemetery space was soon used, and Meigs seized Arlington for use as a cemetery. Meig's son had been recently killed fighting the Rebels, and he might have been feeling a little extra vindictive. Meigs visited the cemetery and found burial crews interring Union soldiers in a remote corner of the estate. He flew into a rage, and ordered that dead soldiers be buried right beside the foundation of the house, so that no one could ever live in it again. I'm not sure exactly how that was supposed to keep anybody from being able to live in the house. If the bodies were placed beside the foundation and it bothered future occupants, the bodies could be moved. At any rate Lee never lived in the house again, and no one has. Eventually, after Lee was dead, the government paid his son for the property, many years later.
No word on how families of dead soldiers might have felt about the bodies of their loved ones being used as instruments of General Meig's spitefulness.
Its called the Custis-Lee House. John F. Kennedy visited it a few months before he was murdered, and remarked what a lovely place it would be to be buried, as he looked out over at the city of Washington from the veranda of the house atop its hill. Kennedy is now buried just down the hill from the house.
