Additional Description: Text on the Welcome sign-Dumbarton House is a Federal period home built in 1799 by Samuel Jackson. Joseph Nourse, the first Registrar of the Treasury who served under six presidents, resided here from 1804 to 1813. Through the interpretation of its historic site and collections, Dumbarton House promotes the understanding of historic preservation and of the early history of our nation. In 1928 the house was purchased by The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America (NSCDA) to serve as a museum and as the NSCDA headquarters.
