With the close of the fam Gus contest over
his estate, the house occupied by Judge
Holt for nearly tbirty-eight years previous
to his death in 1894 is just now an object
OF more or less interest 10 great many
people in this city and vicinity. IL stands
high up on the northeast corner OF New
Jersey avenue anu L streets souineast, and

SO FAR as is known the house was erected
in S2I by DR.. Frederick May, the father
OF the man who fought the famous duel
with James Gordon Bennett OF the New
York Herald. In 1903 the lot was not even
assessed by the District assessors aud the
presumption is that at that time the lot he
ionged to the government, whose property
was exempt from taxation.
This state or aTIairs continued until 1919,
when the lot known as No. 3 in block $50
was secured by DR.. Frederick May and was
held by him and upon which he paid taxes
until S5i, al which time he transferred the
property to William Marshall, an auction
eer, VINO bought it at auction. In 1924
the property was assessed for 300
improvements have been made TO the
lot. These improvements are supp osed
to be to the house which was erected ut that
time. In 1854 the house was assessed for
$4,000 IN the name OF william Marshall.

property to Joseph holt, In whose name
the property stands today.
