This is the Clara Barton house in Glen Echo MD. I’m posting this today as Sunday is the anniversary of the death of Clara Barton, in this very location.
You might notice the flag flying above the house. It is a red cross flag. The windows even feature red crosses. The house served a dual purpose; as her home and as the headquarters of the red cross. There was space for her to live, but it overlapped with office space and even extra living quarters for transient staff or volunteers.

I am pretty sure my title at work is “transient staff”.

Sorry, I can’t believe I missed my chance for a great comment yesterday.
I have since corrected this error.
