Birchwood is a log house reconstructed in 1936 using logs from an earlier structure built in about 1836. The first log house on the site was an even earlier structure built by Caleb Birch in approximately 1800 that burned down.
Richard Wallace, valet to Rear Admiral Presley M. Rixey, lived here, and received President Theodore Roosevelt as a visitor.
Birchwood has been recognized as a Historic District by Arlington County, USA.
