EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Arlington House Occupied by Federal Troops, 28th June 1864" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in American history. Taken by an anonymous American School photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the imposing Arlington House as it is occupied by Union soldiers during the height of the American Civil War. Formerly known as Custis-Robert E. Lee Memorial House, this iconic residence holds great historical significance. It served as home to General Robert E. Lee for three decades and earned him admiration from both Northern and Southern Americans alike. Situated within the George Washington Memorial Parkway, this architectural masterpiece was modeled after Athens' Theseum. The photograph captures not only the exterior beauty of Arlington House but also highlights its transformation into headquarters for Union soldiers during that fateful day in June 1864. The soldier standing proudly at attention symbolizes their presence and control over this once grand estate. With its Doric columns and pediment adorning the entrance, Arlington House stands tall amidst a backdrop of turmoil and conflict. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how war can disrupt even the most serene settings. Preserved through time, this historic photograph allows us to reflect on our nation's past while appreciating both its architectural splendor and wartime significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of our shared heritage and how it continues to shape our present-day
