When Benjamin Henry Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capitol, visited Stafford in 1806, he found on this "beautiful little knoll in the midst of the woods close to his quarry?a log house," the home of quarryman William Robertson. Robertson's quarry was, and had been, contributing Aquia stone, or sandstone, for construction of the United States Capitol.HM Number | HMKVS |
