The Stephen Decatur House, a National Trust for Historic Preservation site since 1956, was the first and last private residence on Lafayette Square, the neighborhood of the president. Following the 1818 construction of Decatur House, Jackson Place was one of the capital's most desirable addresses throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Though by the 1960s many of its grand residences were lost, the historic character of Jackson Place was preserved through the efforts of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, architect John Carl Warnecke, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which oversaw the construction of office buildings reminiscent of the historic rowhouses.

The Decatur House Museum's highly-successful Jazz on Jackson Place evening programs of music and merriment take place in the house museum's beautiful courtyard on the first Thursday evening of every month from April through September. Tickets include beer, wine, and light hors d'oeuvres..
