Cady-Lee House - View this location on map The 22-room Queen Anne style frame house designed by architect Leon Dessez is one of the largest and most elaborate Victorian houses built in the new commuter suburb of Takoma Park. The house was built in 1887 by Washington real estate and insurance salesman Henry Cady and his wife, Lucinda, and remained in the family until the death of their daughter Mary Cady Lee in 1975. It is notable for its exuberant turreted and gabled exterior, with wraparound porches, imbricated shingling and clapboarding, turned posts, balustrades, spindle work, corbelled chimneys, and finials. The interiors are also well preserved. 7064 Eastern Avenue, NW, Washington , DC Historical
