John Russell Pope, who went on to design the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Art, built this Georgian Revival house for Chester and Marion Wells in 1927 and 1928. The Audubon Naturalist Society took it over and keeps the forty acres around it open to the public as a nature sanctuary. The walls are Flemish bond brick with brick quoins.
