* The Mary Thompson House by photographer Matthew Brady (1863).
Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Headquarters (Mary Thompson House), is a one-and-a-half story stone house, situated on a 4.01-acre tract on the crest of Seminary Ridge, west of the town of Gettysburg on the north side of the Chambersburg Pike. During the American Civil War, the property was co-owned by Thaddeus Stevens, an influential and powerful Pennsylvania Congressman, and a 69-year-old widow named Mary Thompson. The still-extant James Henry Thompson House, owned by Mary’s son, is located on the south side of the road. (Text by Civil War Trust)
