An Ancient House Spared BY the
Fire.

The Baltimore American Of February -,
says:
The ancient three.story building ai the
southwest corner Of German and Liberty
streets, which was slightly damaged by the
great fire, and almost By q miracle escaped
complete destruction. is said TO be the oldest
building IN the ciiy and has been the scene of
many interesting events. The building Is now
occupied by Mr.. Thomas Burke, and the first
door is used rs a saloon. Il was erected l3l
years ago, when Baltimore consisted Of bat a
few log cabins scattered about the vicinity Of
what is nov Baltimore and Calvert streets,
aud Liberty street was running brook on the
west bank OF which the old buiiding Was
erected. AT that time the building consisted
of but two stories and a cellar, bat what was
then the cellar has now become the first aocr.
the streets on both sides having been graded
down about IL feet
The building Is Of woodwork above the FIRST
floor, aud located inst across the narrow street
from the Hurst Building, where the ERE started,
IL IS considered remarkable thRt II was not de
stroyed. The east side was blistered consid
erably BY the heat, and the roof caught sew
eral times, 5af the blaze WIS extinsurShed
each time before any great damage was done.
When the building was FIRST erected II was
occupied as carpet weaving mill by Peter
Trevis, but later was converted into tavern
or roadhouse, and became headquarters for
congressman and other men Of note. Gen-
erals Washington and Lafayette were frequent
guests. In that house Henry Clay received
and accepted the challenge to hghi duel with
John Randolph OF Roanoke Va.
The old building Is sull in good condition
and will probably be kept rs landmark tor
