Sorry about the weird perspective here, but it's a VERY tight shot.
The Campbell House in Washington was originally built in the Federal style in or before 1808 and is the left half of the current structure. The owner was Duncan Campbell, a lawyer and state legislator who drafted the treaty removing the Cherokee from the state. He also drafted the first bill in the state providing for higher education of women. In 1811, he bought the house next door and combined them. That same year his son John was born. He would go on to become a US Supreme Court Justice and the first Secretary of War for the Confederacy. In 1841, the house was owned by Aaron Cleveland who renovated the house and added the Greek Revival details. Structurally, the house has remained in this appearance since 1841.
