This undated handout photo provided by Mount Vernon shows North Cove near the palladian window at George Washington's Mount Vernon, Va. estate. The keepers of Washington's Mount Vernon estate on Friday announced a major reinterpretation of the largest room in the Founding Father's riverfront mansion. For decades, interpreters showed the room to tourists as Washington's large dining room. Upon further review, historians at Mount Vernon have concluded that the room Washington referred to as the "new room" that was added at the start of the American Revolution was actually more of a multi-purpose salon to impress and entertain visitors. A yearlong reinterpretation of the New Room will be unveiled to the public on Saturday, with a more authentic paint scheme and dozens of artifacts that Washington himself kept in the room.

From left, Mary Iverson, Will Hillebrenner and Heather Scott stand on the porch of a Victorian home in the Historic Oakwood neighborhood of Raleigh, N.C., on Thursday, March 20, 2014. The three are among the opponents of a modern house that they believe doesn't fit in with the district's historic aesthetic. Iverson, who owns four historic homes in the neighborhood, says the Cherry house is beautiful, but it doesn't belong in Oakwood. "That is a leap of 100 years of design architecture," she says. "So that's not an evolution. That's a, 'So let's go to another planet.'" (AP Photo/Allen G. Breed)
