In the fall of 2016, new evidence emerged from dendrochronology testing by the Oxford Tree Ring Laboratory in Baltimore that the building may not be as old as previously thought. The dendrochronology testing, which examines the wood in the building, reveals the structure may date to 1786–87, just before George Washington took office. The building, one of the oldest in Prince William County, is currently used by the county for its Historic Preservation offices. [4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. [1]
