Marshall Jewell when he WAS in Grants
Cabinet Around this circle are a
number of well known houses. Tie
great square house of Judge Wyli5
i5 one of the Oldest of the neighborhood.
Only few doors below is Attorney
General Garland's house, the plainest
of all the houses occupied by the Cab
met officers. 1t IS in long row of
| plain brick front houses three stories in
height, with dark basement. The
house stands about ten feet above the
level of the street, on a low terrace.
The steps leading to the door are iron
open work. The door and the trim
mings of the house at the top are in
brown. The house is very plainly fur
nished. 1t has more the appearance of
lodging or boarding. house than of a
private residence. Here the Attorney
/, General resides with his aged mother.
Secretary Manning resides but short
distance from Mr.. Blyard, on che same
| avenue. The house is one of the
largest and most expensive Of the pri-
vate residences constructed in accord
ance with modern architectural ideas
in the city. 1t was built by Otto
Blgelow, a Washington banker. Its
turrets and towers give it the appear
ance of castle at distance. The
front has deep-Set balconies shaded by
heavy arches supported by substantial
pillars. Over all of the windows and
doors are great variety of designs of
stained glass, The front of the house
does not give fair idea of the magni-
tude of the building. 1t stretches back
through the entire block in an irregu-
lar, thoroughly artistic way. The large
stables attached to the house face on
the street in the rear. This house
IS Just one block from the British Lega-
ton, and is diagonally across the corner
from the very large and imposing
house occupied by Senator Van Wyck,
OF Nebraska. a few blocks away is
the house which the genial 5. 5. Cox
occupied before he went to Turkey, and
the new house of Senator Edmunds,
So much has been written about Secre-
tary Whitney'5 house, and the enter
tainments given there this winter, that
it is familiar subject. The house
is large, square, old-fashioned one in
exterior appearance, but since the
BSllSlNC lCD<-Alo Dl
Mr. Whitney Its interior is very COM
plete and elegant, with wonderful
rOomineSs and adaptabilIty TO the pur-
poses of large entertainments. 1t is
owned by the Frelinghuysen estate,
having been the residence of the family
when the late ex-Secretary of State
resided in Washington, and is leased by
Mr.. Whitney for term of four years.
Halfway between Mr.. Bayard's and
Mr.. Manning'5 is the house occupied by
Secretary Endicott, on Sixteenth street
near Scott Circle. 1t is IN the imne-
date vicinity OF the famous Don Cam
PendletOn, who leased it to Mr.. Eadi-
colt furnished. 1t Is an odd house in
its architecture and is rich red in all
of its outside eolors and trimmings
Even the window blinds are red. 1t is
one of the best known and one OF the
most popuiai houses IN Washington, t9si, e. e.
account Of the LAVISH entertainments
given there by the Pendletons. Just
across the street is the Windsor house,
already we'll known. Postmaster Gen.
eral Villas lives in q very plain house
near Thomas Circle. 1t is large dou-
bic font house and belongs to the
earlier style of architecture prevailing
about the time the first improvements
were begun in Washington under Boss
Shepherd. The brick work is inferior,
and the front is a very light rel.
trimmed with white stone around the
top of the windows and doors. The
general appearance of the house is sug:
gestive OF gingerbread. though inside 1t
is well arranged, with large, well-ven-
tllaeed, comfortable rooms. 1t is large
enough to accommodate a goodly
crowd, and is we'll furnished. Secre-
tary Lamar Is the only member of the
Cabinet who is not keeping house. He
has a suite of six rooms upon the sixth
floor of the Portland flats. The Port
land hats building stands upon trlan-
gular-shape1 lot. 1t terminates In "a
point, with great tower at the end OF
1t, heading toward the Thomas Circle.
1t has the general appearance of grea.
ship. Mr.. Lamar lives in the bow OF
this ship. He has beautiful views out
of his WINDOWS, as he has 4 command
OF both sides If the bow from windows
of his apartment, he is certain to have
splendid vertila lion; and upon the hot
teSs day Or night his room is sure to be
c)ol. Yet in the case of fire or acci.
dent il is possible that the sixth flooI
might have some disadvantages. Mr..
Lamar, though very fond Of the ladies'.
and remarkably courteous toward them,
is IN no sense society man. nor would
bis means enable him to entertain, as
entertainments go, even did his inclina.
tions tend that way.
