This report section outlines the historical data about the Arlington House structure, beginning in 1933 when Arlington House (then called the Lee Mansion) was transferred from the War Department to the Department of the Interior. It details the history of the preservation, maintenance, and interpretation of this historic property. This includes the continuation of the restoration work that had started under the War Department, followed by a series of improvements to the interior and exterior of the structure, finishes, and systems. The report presents these improvements chronologically. The report is completed by a summary of repair and restoration work for all years during this period (1933-1979), presented with funding data and also arranged by section of the structure. Recommendations for further research are also included.
