n about 1869, Robert E. Lee, the former commanding general of the Confederate army in the 1861–1865 American Civil War paid his last visit to the District of Columbia at Tudor Place before his death on October 12, 1870.^[14] By 1874, Tudor Place was occupied by Thos. Beverley Kennon (1830–1890),^[14] a grandson of Thomas Peter, a former U.S. Civil War captain with the Confederate Secret Service, and a post U.S. Civil War soldier under the Khedive of Egypt.^[15] In 1890, the year that Beverley Kennon died and at a time when Brittania W. Kennon was the oldest living descendant of Mrs. Washington, The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine published an extensive article that detailed the collection of Martha Washington's relics that were maintained inside Tudor Place.^[5]

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.^[2][16] Tudor Place is located at 1644 31st Street, N.W. and is open to the public.
