Review & FAQ:

Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial is a historic house located on Sherman Drive in Arlington. Formerly known as the Custis-Lee Mansion, it is a Greek revival style mansion that overlooks the National Mall in Washington, DC as well as the Potomac River.

It was the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and, after the American Civil War ended, it was decided that the grounds would be used for the Arlington National Cemetery so that Lee could never return to his home. Later, the United States made the house a national memorial to Lee. Arlington House is located inside Arlington National Cemetery.
