Local property records show that the mansion scorched in the fire is owned by Robb, 82, who served as Virginia governor from 1982 to 1986 and Senator from 1989 to 2001, according to WDVM, WTOP and WJLA.

Robb and his wife Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, the daughter of former U.S president Lyndon B. Johnson, bought the home in the 1970s, per WJLA.

The mansion, which has a view of the Potomac River, had an estimated value of $3.4 million prior to the blaze.
