1222 28th Street NW is a building in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
The house is believed to have been built in the 1700s by a British sea captain, with its hand-hewn ceiling beams possibly being from a ship that had run aground.
[5] As of 2016, several of the building's original features were still intact, including the Belgian tiles in front of the hearth, wood paneling and flooring, and handmade glass in its windows.
[5] The cottage was the home of Ann Caracristi, former deputy director of the National Security Agency,[6] for 65 years, until her death in January 2016.
[5] The relatives of Caracristi put the property (including many of its furnishings) on the market after her death.
