Mount Vernon bedroom, Virginia, USA, plantation home of George Washington.

Inside the Mount Vernon house, a bedroom is depicted as in 1799, the last year of Washington's life. Mount Vernon, Virginia, was the plantation home of George Washington, the first President of the United States (1789-1797). The mansion is built of wood in neoclassical Georgian architectural style on the banks of the Potomac River. Mount Vernon estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and is owned and maintained in trust by The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. The estate served as neutral ground for both sides during the American Civil War, although fighting raged across the nearby countryside.
