It is no longer possible to take a full photograph of Lee's House from the angle of the 1865 photograph (on the left) because an office building blocks part of the house.

THE RESIDENCE OF THE FAMILY OF GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE 1864 - 1865 AND TO WHICH HE RETIRED AFTER APPOMATTOX.

Marker on Lee's House.
(See right photograph above.)

Sign on sidewalk in front of Lee's House.

The sign was damaged in 1999 (after this photograph was taken) because of an encounter with a truck! It was replaced in 2003. I assume the replacement sign has the same text, but I have not verified it yet.

The alley behind Lee's House has
been named after Lee's Horse, Traveller.
