History

The Federal-style home was built in 1801 for Samuel Davidson, a prominent 18th century businessman and landowner. It was designed by architect Nicholas King, the first surveyor of Washington, D.C., and founder of the city's first library. The interior was renovated in 1818. A porch was added in 1877, by Henry Hayes Lockwood, and John D. McPherson. F. Lammot Belin restored it in 1923, and F. Lammot Belin, Jr. added a brick "orangery," to the east front, in 1961.^[2] Dr. Sachiko Kuno and Dr. Ryuji Ueno, bought it for $22 million, in 2011. ^[3]

Evermay is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property to the Georgetown Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.
