Germantown White House
The National Park Service website states of the site:
The oldest official presidential residence, the Germantown White House, (Deshler-Morris House) twice sheltered George Washington. In October 1793, he found refuge during the Yellow Fever epidemic in Philadelphia. Continuing the business of government, he held four cabinet meetings here. The next summer, it was a welcome retreat for him and his family near Philadelphia, the Federal Capital.
Visit the house President Washington called home in 1793 & 1794.
The site address is 5442 Germantown Avenue.
