WASHINGTON, February -. rS5D
In reply 10 your note of the 18th inst. permit
me TO say that in the construction OF the
National Hotel. was charged with that super
rability.
The hotel, as a whole, wac designed by Mr..
Hadheld, an English engineer Of great ability
spaciousness i'm respect TO parlors. halls s..
He also designed the City Hall. The hotel was
built IN the more usda Substantial mdRneT Of that
period by Peter Lenox, ESQ.,, q carpenter of the
FIRST character, and Mr.. Jacob A. Bender, then
late from Philadelphia, bringing credentials OF
the highest character ~ bricklayer.
The ioundations were laid, not in the ordinary
manner, but upon inverted arches so as to rem
der weakening OF the walls or a breaking OF
them an impossibility. The walls, both outer
and the numerous partition ones, were of great
thickness, and were laid In the most careful and
substantial manner. Hence the almost impossi-
bic thing OF spread Of fire within the building
BESIDES there are tour ways of egress from the
hotel-one at each corner. The arches in the
building above ground were in correspondence
with those on which the foundations rested and
were made for like purposes, OF strength and
permanence.
speak particularly OF the main building, but
the extensions were substantially in Conscience
with IT. They were constructed under the su-
perintendence of John Gadsby, Esq, himself
an excellent builder, and who noted for
great thoroughness i'm whatever he undertook.
Ar an example in tins regard, il may be stated
that, as a security against fire, iron tanks were
constructed on the roof Of the hotel, and hose
was at hand.
As whole, regard the National Hotel as
having no peer i'm the respect of security OF So
idity of construction. And in the extraordinary
size Of Its parlors, public and private, and of its
chambers, dining halls, and passages, in con-
nection with the important changes and i'm
provements now going on, there il ample con-
venience TO permanent guests for the enjoyment
Of what approximates home comforts.
Very respectfully, &C.. X. c. wErcHrNkS.
