"Located adjacent to Tuskegee institute, this Queen Anne style home was built in 1899. The house designed by Robert Robertson Taylor, and built by the Institute students and faculty with Institute produced materials, is an example of Washington's philosophy of learning to work with the hands. Washington died here on November 14, 1915. Restored by National Park Service, 1981"
