Wasn't it 1814?

Yup. 
I was going off of info from here:
(and no it doesn't make any sense when they say "a week later" or "a weeks later" re: June to August.

From there they invaded and burned Hampton on June 25, 1813, and then set the capitol in Washington D.C. on fire a week later on August 14.[6]

Which went off info from here. This is footnote [6]
Frustrated in their efforts to seize the town of Norfolk, the invaders landed at Old Point Comfort and used the tower as an observation post. From there they went on to take and burn Hampton on June 25th, 1813, and then torch Washington D.C. a weeks later on August 14th.

The British commanders were engaging in a campaign of essentially "terrorist" raids along the Chesapeake Bay shore in a series of small scale amphibious landings .
Due to the incompetence of the Commander the Army commander in the Washington area the only forces available were a poorly coordinated mix of sailors, US Marines, regular Army and local Militia who met the British at the town of Bladensburg Maryland.
After putting up a brave, but mismanaged defense the Army and militia withdrew under cover of fire from the Marines assisted by Navy gunners manning a few field guns .
The British were so impressed by this that when they got to Washington the commander ordered the Marine Commandants quarters at 8th and I streets to be spared making it the oldest govt building in Washington.
