THE OLD NAVY BUILDING.

WOrkmen Preparing II for Demolition
Reminders OF Other and Buster Days.
Many interesting and exciting memories
of the late war cling about the old war and
navy department building on Seventeenth
street, which is now being dismantled. Dur
ing those stirring days, dust covered couriers
dashed back and fourth over the rough cob
BILE stoned streets, officers in gay uniforms
fitted about and all was hustle and con-
fusion. Twenty years have wrought a
great change. The war department wing of
the old landmark has disappeared TO make
room for the new and handsome triplet build
ing, and the navy department, or south wing,
is being rapidly dismantled, prepara-
tory to thorough demolition, which will
begin in few weeks. The
Workmen with pick AK and shovel will soon
remove the last vestige ut structure repleto
with fragments of history, Nearly all of its
rooms have been deserted and the work OF
removing still goes on. The only apartment
left entirely untouched is that formerly
occupied by the secretary of the navy. A
reporter of The REPUBLICAN visited this
room last evening. After passing through
several long and narrow Railways
OF decidedly antique appearance, covered by
faded carpets and with wall paper hanging
in shreds from their sides. tho secretary'B
room was reached II reminded the reporter
of the dusty apartments of knighty castles
described In ancient lore Old fashioned
windows, partially objcured by damask cur
tains pictures in gilded frames and old
school furniture, all tended to give the
place an air OF goneness.
These pieces, said Mr.. Geo. j. Bean, who
has been connected with tho building for
many years, pointing to IL yellow painted sofa
and chair, made OF oak "were manufactured
long before the war at the Washington navy
yard. They arc considered rare relics"
Other relics were then shown to the reporter,
including several chart cases, containing maps
of the coasts of the United States. They
We're used as references during tho rebellion.
