Cedar Hill, photograph by Walter Smalling in the Historic American Buildings Survey, October 1977.
Frederick Douglass moved to this house in the late 1870s and lived there until his death in 1895. In 1988, the site was added to the list of National Historic Sites and now operates as a museum and educational center. This image was taken in 1977 for the Historic American Buildings Survey, which is a US government program that oversees the preservation of historic sites and reports on them.
