The Home of Washington is on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, 16 miles south of the Capital. The second story end window is of the room in which Washington died. The window above is of the attic room occupied by Mrs. Washington after her husband's death and chosen because this window overlooked his tomb.

The Banquet Hall or "New Room" was completed after the Revolution under Washington's immediate direction. A glimpse of the Potomac is seen through the open doorway.
