an act concerning free negroes and va
grants" On April 49, 1921, another ordi-
nance was passed setting forth that said
joint institution should be known as "the
Washington Asylum"
The records show that in 1899 the asylum
was a frame structure, located on NJ
street north between 9th and 7th streets
west. This building having been found I'M
suitable for the purposes required, applica-
ton was made to the President of the
United States for such portion Of the res
ervation on the Eastern branch as might be
necessary for the erection of new asy-
lum." This was granted, and May 10, 1843,
an ordinance was passed providing for Its
erection. The building, which was frame.
was destroyed by fire March 2, 1857, and
one of the inmates, a woman, was Gre
mated. The present structure was then
erected, being first occupied January "A,
1859
Nearly all the records of the institution
went up in smoke during the fire of March
q, 1857, but one musty old record book
which was rescued from the flames gives
the names Of some Of the city characters
who habitually fell into the clutches Of the
law and were confined in the Joint aims
house and workhouse. Among these old
offenders in Washington from 1914 to 1921
were Polly Harrod, a white woman, forty
years OF age. who served several terms in
the workhouse, as well as in the ''city peni-
tenttary," az the jail was then called; Caro-
line Baltimore and Lucinda Fox. colored; !;
Dolly Ann Smith and Betsy Shadrack,
white. All Of these, the records show, were
committed by Justice Robert Clarke for
various misdemeanors. At that time the M
street building was well out on the north
ern suburbs Of the city, surrounded by wide
stretches of unimproved land, with here
and there patches of forest trees, ravinss
and ponds.
While the present building was in course
of erection, James G. Berret was mayor of
Washington. and the building fund hav-
