Marjorie Merriweather Post purchased this estate - originally known as Arbremont - in 1955. The twenty-five acre site overlooking Washington's Rock Creek Park was renamed Hillwood.

The Georgian-style mansion, designed by John Deibert in 1926, was originally built for Mrs. Henry Parsons Erwin. In decorating Hillwood, Marjorie Merriweather Post hired the New York architect Alexander McIlvaine to redesign and expand the old mansion completely so that visitors could view her by-now extensive collection with greater ease.
