Here’s some funny history
.
I’m standing in front of the Old Stone House in Georgetown. It was built in 1765 and is the oldest unchanged building in Washington, D.C.
.
.
For many years, locals believed that George Washington and L'Enfant had met here in 1791 to plan out the layout of the town, Georgetown.
.
.
Because of this, the Old Stone House was never demolished, and for many years a sign hung over the front door which said, "George Washington's Headquarters." .
.
After some research done by the National Park Service, they learned that the folklore was not true. George Washington did not have his meetings here. By the time they had discovered this, they already owned the House and the property.
.
.
The Old Stone house is on the national historic registry. On its 250th anniversary they had 97,000 visitors. .
