"Kenmore" was built in 1740 by Colonel Fielding Lewis, an officer who
commanded a division at the siege of Yorktown where Cornwallis
surrendered. It is said the bricks used to build this house were brought
from England, but this cannot be confirmed, but the interior stucco work
of this colonial mansion has stood for over a century and is supposed to
have been done by expert Englishmen.

It was to Kenmore that Colonel Fielding Lewis took Bettie Washington,
(George's sister) as a bride.
