The United States Daughters of 1812, National Headquarters, also known as the Admiral John Henry Upshur House, is a Victorian Queen Anne building from 1884 which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was commissioned by near-retirement American admiral John Henry Upshur for architectural design by Frederick C. Withers and was constructed by builders Langley & Gettinger in 1884.[1][2]
It was later divided into three apartments.[2]
The United States Daughters of 1812 organization bought the building in 1928 for $31,214.44 and has used it since. Its NRHP nomination notes some irony in the historic organization's choice of a Victorian-style residence.[2]: 5
