Mile 2.3 -- Ball-Sellers House, 5620 3rd St. South. 1742 Arlington's oldest residence. The original house is the lower section to the left. It was a log cabin that was later covered with siding. It faces away from 3rd Street. The two-story portion to the right was added about 1885. On the east wall
Ball-Sellers House, Mile 2.3  
(the one facing left) you can see a cutout showing the original logs. 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. (If this number does not work, check with the museum staff to find out if it has been changed.)National Register of Historic Places
