Why has this little house in particular survived to this day? I find the site refreshingly different from the rest of the monumental architecture surrounding the National Mall.

It's amazing that this house was still right on the water of the river when it was built.

Built in 1837, the house is the oldest on the Mall. When there used to be a canal there, the homeowner collected duties and oversaw trade.
