Big donation will restore Arlington House to original state

摘要

A $12.3 million donation from philanthropist David Rubenstein will allow the National Park Service to repair the 200-year-old Arlington House on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. The donation is the culmination of efforts by NPS Director Jonathan Jarvis to win the support of Rubenstein, who funded half the cost of the agency's Washington Monument restoration after it was damaged in a 2011 earthquake.
