James Monroe began the active practice of law in one of the small offices on this corner during 1786 to 1790.

Starting around 1927, the law office has been restored by the descendants of President Monroe. It is now a musuem run by the University of Mary Washington featuring original items (papers, letters, furniture, etc.) related to James Monroe.

The NPS page (see secondary link below) notes that this location is really three individual buildings starting 1816 which were later merged together.
