It is Admiral's House, a three-story gabled and turreted white brick Victorian mansion of 33 rooms on Embassy row, 21/2 miles northwest of the White House. But the 82-year-old Admiral's House has proved to be something of a rusty boat since Congress captured it by Executive fiat from the Navy, which had used it since 1928 to quarter the families of the chiefs of naval operations.
