Arlington House, also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion, is a historic Greek Revival-style mansion located in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Originally built between 1802 and 1818 by George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted grandson of George Washington, it served as the home of Robert E. Lee and his family for 30 years before the Civil War. Today, the Arlington House is the nation’s memorial to Robert E. Lee. It honors him for specific reasons, including his role in promoting peace and reunion after the Civil War. In a larger sense it exists as a place of study and contemplation of the meaning of some of the most difficult aspects of American history: military service; sacrifice; citizenship; duty; loyalty; slavery and freedom.

From Keim:

Extensive mock-ups and studies were done by KEIM, and a detailed presentation was provided to the National Park Service. After approval, the building was completely stripped and cleaned. Repairs as necessary were done. KEIM Universal Render was applied as a skimmed layer and for repairs, and KEIM Royalan was the coating of choice for the faux treatments for facades as well as the large exterior columns. Some areas of the building had serious cracks and moisture issues, particularly at the back. We researched the historic faux finishes and colors. We repaired the stucco with Universalputz Render, added a new layer, and finished the public facades with Ashlar jointing. The back was left plain. EverGreene Studios handled the stripping and faux painting.
