Holt House (Washington, D.C.) : ウィキペディア英語版
Holt House (Washington, D.C.)

Holt House is an historic house, located on the grounds of the National Zoo, and probably built before 1814. It is one of the most important examples of early Neoclassical architecture in Washington, D.C., and was one of the major houses in the new Federal City when it was built. Its caretaker has been the Smithsonian Institution since 1889, and is the oldest building under the Smithsonian's auspices, but has been left vacant since the 1980s. It was listed in the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 1964 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 1973.
==History==
Holt House is intimately linked to the early history of both Washington and the nation through its association with such prominent figures as Thomas Johnson (first governor of Maryland), Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Stoddert (first Secretary of the Navy), Benjamin Mackall (Georgetown merchant), John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson. It has been owned by the Smithsonian Institution since 1890, and is the oldest building under its auspices.
While Holt House is one of the great country-style estates built during the early years of the new Federal City, it remains a mystery as to who built it and when. The chain of ownership and the backgrounds of the owners of the land on which the house sits suggest it could have been constructed no later than 1814. It seems most likely that the house was built by George Johnson, and if so, his connections to Dr. William Thornton, first Architect of the Capitol, suggest that that Thornton may have a hand in the design of Holt House.〔If the house were built before George Johnson, through Thornton's positions as a City Commissioner, Director of the Bank of Columbia, and as a Quaker, Thornton also had connections with the previous owners of the property before the Johnsons (Benjamin Stoddert, Walter Mackall, and Jonathan Shoemaker), indicating that he was probably familiar with the property even before a house was constructed on it.〕
