English: Standing on the front driveway in front of Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. I'm looking due east toward Washington, D.C.
The first main granite curve you see at the bottom of the image is the rear wall of the John F. Kennedy Memorial and Grave Site. Just beyond it is another light-colored curve, which is the granite-lined walkway curving across the landscape to bring visitors to the Kennedy grave.
The blocky looking white structure in mid-distance is the Hemicycle, the main ceremonial entrace to Arlington National Cemetery. Today, the Hemicycle houses the Women in Military Service for America Memorial (which opened in 1997).
The main beige-looking strip is the sidwalk paralleling Memorial Drive. Beyond Memorial Drive is Memorial Bridge, which opened in 1932. The Lincoln Memorial is just visible at the end of Memorial Bridge. The red roofs of the Federal Triangle complex of buildings is to the right and behind the Lincoln Memorial. The tall building is the Old Post Office Pavilion.
The buildings to the left of the Lincoln Memorial are in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
Arlington House was built by George Washington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington, in 1803. George Hadfield, also partially designed the United States Capitol, designed the mansion. The north and south wings were completed between 1802 and 1804. but the large center section and portico were not finished until 1817.
George Washington Parke Custis died in 1857, leaving the Arlington estate and house to his eldest daughter, Mary Custis Lee -- wife of General Robert E. Lee.
