The James Monroe Law Office located in Fredericksburg, Virginia was used for that purpose from 1786 to 1789. James Monroe would later become the fifth President of the United States (1817-1825).
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1966.[3][4]
The building is now the James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library, which is owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and operated by the University of Mary Washington. The museum features original objects and memorabilia related to James Monroe, and includes several items relating to other members of his family, including dresses worn by First Lady Elizabeth Monroe.
The outside includes a memorial garden to James Monroe, which features a bust of him sculpted by Margaret French Cresson, daughter of Daniel Chester French.
