This building,
built in 1800, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
George and Martha Washington's wills were recorded here and still
remain in this complex. Confederate President Jefferson Davis
reviewed strategy in the tavern across the street with his generals
on October 1 and 2, 1861. Here, also, at that time, General Beauregard
redesigned the Confederate flag and ordered the first three made
by the Cary sisters of Fairfax Court House. The first colors had
been too similar to the U.S. flag as noted by casualties at First
Manassass.
