The Little Jewel is a historic house, built c. 1869-70 by Black and West Virginian carpenter Edgar Murphy, in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.[1] It is a frame and clapboard structure painted yellow of two storeys with a basement, four bays wide, with six-over-six sash windows throughout. This house is most notable for being the residence of Julia Child and her husband from 1948 to 1959, and the first property they owned.[2]
