The original roof, which was of clapboard construction rather than shingles or shakes, was covered by adding a completely separate second roof above it. The house was donated by the Sellers family to the Arlington Historical Society in 1975. It is occupied by a caretaker for the society, and the interior may be seen by calling ahead to (703) 379-2123.
