Looking south at the rear of the Stone House (caretaker's lodge) in Prospect Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C., in the United States in 2014. Prospect Hill Cemetery was added to the Register of Historic Places of the District of Columbia (a listing of historic sites maintained by the city) in 2005. The cemetery's main gate was originally opposite what is now called Chapel Circle on the east side of the cemetery, at Lincoln Road NE. After a 12-year battle, North Capitol Street was cut through the cemetery on the west side. The old gatehouse on Lincoln Road was torn down, and in 1927 the current gatehouse, known as the Stone House, was erected. The Stone House underwent a major renovation to its roof, eaves, and roof joists in 2012.
