Decatur House stands on the northwest corner of Lafayette Square, directly across from the White House. Benjamin Henry Latrobe designed it, and it was completed in 1818 for Commodore Stephen Decatur, a naval hero of the War of 1812. Decatur died in a duel in 1820, only a few years after moving in, and the house later passed to the Beale family, whose changes shaped much of its later appearance. Its prominent location made it one of the best-known private residences in the capital, and it became a museum after it was given to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1956.
