During the encampment , Hope Lodge was used as a hospital by George Washington ' s surgeon general John Cochran , and as quarters for Major General Nathanael Greene . When West died in 1784 , the house was purchased by the English banker Henry Hope ( to whom Adam Smith dedicated " The Wealth of Nations " and whose family would later own and lend their name to the Hope Diamond ) and it was presented as a wedding gift to his ward , James Watmough .
