In the late 1700s Robert Peter of Georgetown, then in Montgomery county, Md. obtained a large tract of property where several family mansions/summer resdences were soon built, all near Seneca, Md. Montevideo was one built by John Park Custis Peter and included a small cemetery where Thomas was buried when he died.
Many say that the Montevideo mansion has the same basic design as that of Tudor Place, the main Peter family residence which stayed within the family until the 1960s when back taxes forced the sale of it to the U.S. Government. Today it is open to the public for tours.
