THE picture which illustrates this
narrative shows the oldest row
\ of houses in Washington. II is
not only the oldest row Of dwell
ings in the city. but it is the first row
built in what is now the Capital of the
United States. 1t was built six years
before the seat Of Government was ac-
tually removed 20 Washington. Con-
gress decreed in 1870 that the Federal
Capital should be removed to the Ter
ritory Of Columbia. The Capital was
established here In 1900 and the row Of
dwellings represented in the picture was
erected IN 1874 The old building stands
on the east side OF Four-and-a-half
Street between y and o Streets south.
Fer half century it was known as the
Wheat r ~, but this distinction IS now
lost, and it is remembered only by some
OF the very old citizens.
The houses recall the biggest and the
most unfortunate land speculation in

fortunes. Giverted the citys growth from

arose that they intended to commit sui
