Description: The Peter Parker House, former headquarters of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP), is located at 700 Jackson Place (left) on Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. Built in 1860 as the private residence of physician Peter Parker, the Italianate-style row house served as offices for the Bureau of Pan American Republics (precursor to the Organization of American States) from 1888 to 1908, and as the national headquarters for the CEIP from 1910 until 1948. The building is now part of the Blair House complex – comprised of four, adjoining row houses (including 704 Jackson Place; right) which serve as the official residence for guests of the President. The building is a National Historic Landmark and is a contributing property to the Lafayette Square Historic District.
