Carlyle House

This 1752 Georgian Stone mansion was constructed by Scottish merchant John Carlyle. Architecturally resembling manor houses designed by William Adam of Scotland, Carlyle House is similar to Craigiehall in West Lothan, Scotland. Historians speculate that it may have been built from blueprints of Craigiehall. British General Edward Braddock made his headquarters here in the spring of 1755. In the great parlor Braddock and five Colonial governors planned the funding and strategy of the first campaigns of the French and Indian War.
