The last remaining relic of the small village of Lunette. The brick portion was built in 1761, and the other section was added in 1895.

  • Before the final decision on what to do with the Lunette House, it was temporarily moved to a vacant lot in the newly developing Kirkpatrick Farm West housing community at 38°54′56.1″N 77°34′03.4″W (3000 ft west of this site). Later the final decision was to demolish the historical residential home. The site at the corner of Braddock and Supreme Dr. is now a Minnieland Childcare Center.
