This lovely photo is captioned as the Charles Joseph Nourse House in Tennallytown (read about the name’s history). This is the main administrative house today and it’s known as Zartman House. It’s a beautiful old farm house, originally constructed in 1827.

  1. This is interesting. The Nourse House is perhaps better known as “The Highlands,” and as the longtime residence of Admiral Cary Grayson, MD, the Navy physician who attended Woodrow Wilson during his long convalescence following a stroke in 1919. His son, a distinguished Washington publisher, died a few years ago.
