Built in 1885 as a Gilded Age summer retreat, Rock Gate is as well-known and celebrated in Washington as its architect: Ehrick Rossiter. Rossiter's generous rooms graced with restored carved butternut wood panels, walnut and fir floors, delicate turned spindles alongside arched windows, porches, turreted and gable roofs, define the homes of the period. Updated and reconfigured for the 21st century, this magnificent home contains modern comforts without sacrificing historical significance and charm. Understated landscaping compliments the outcropping of stones for which the house was named; grounds are enhanced by stone pathways trimmed with greenery.
