Notes
  • Significance: The Lodge was one of the principal buildings comprising the original Wilson estate. Following the donation of Tree Tops to NIH in 1942, the Lodge served as the primary residence for two generations of the Wilson family. Attributed to architect Edward Clarence Dean, it was constructed utilizing a portion of a pre-existing farmhouse on the site that dated from the nineteenth century. Its architectural detailing closely resembles Tree Tops, suggesting that it was designed as part of an ensemble. In the 1960s, the Lodge was expanded substantially with two additions to accommodate Luke W. Wilson, the son, and his family, after the death of his mother Helen in 1960. The house remained in the Wilson family until 1993, at which time it was sold to NIH. The Lodge is significant as one of the key buildings of the original estate designed by architect Clarence Dean, and also as the primary residence of the Wilson family - the donors responsible for the establishment of NIH in its suburban Bethesday campus.
