The T-shaped chimney stacks were assessed as the most significant architectural feature of the house. A small Lee family cemetery is nearby. The Lee family owned the property until 1918, when it and adjoining lands were acquired by the federal government for the Naval Mine Depot. This installation what ultimately developed as Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and is off-limits to the general public. Years later, Barbara Blunt Brooks of Richmond, Virginia donated one of Dr. Lee's hand-crafted tables to the Naval Weapons Museum. This table is one of two identical tables known to have been made by Lee; the location of the other is unknown. The house was photographed and measured for the HABS, and numerous photos are available.(See link below). It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.
