Sheridan Kalorama
—Call Box Restoration Project —
At 2401 Kalorama Road stands an elegant Georgian frame house, The Lindens. This is Washington's oldest house, yet it is not "of" the District. Built in 1754, in Danvers, Massachusetts, by Robert "King" Hooper a wealthy merchant, The Lindens once sheltered General Thomas Gage, that colony's last British governor. As the American Revolution drew near in 1774, the beleaguered Gage took shelter there. George and Miriam Morris purchased the house in 1934. It was moved here in six railroad cars, and reassembled under the supervision of architect Walter Macomber in 1935.| HM Number | HM24ML |
