- The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America purchased the property now known as Dumbarton House, in 1928. They began a major restoration of the property in 1931 under the direction of local architect Horace Peaslee and architectural historian Fiske Kimball. This restoration strove primarily to restore the property to its 1804 appearance. It was also at this time that The NSCDA renamed the property Dumbarton House, to more accurately reflect the history of the land on which the home had sat for over 100 years. Shortly after the restoration was completed in 1932, Dumbarton House opened its doors to the public as an historic house museum. Today Dumbarton House is one of the few stately brick homes in Washington to survive the heady days when the country and its capital were new.
