H1sToR1cx1 DISCOVERY.
Interesting Data Conserving General
lafayette.


An interesting historical discovery con-
nected with General Lafayette has just
been made by Mr.. Joseph I. Keefer. q
prominent member OF the District branch
Of the Sons of the Revolution. Mr.. Keefer
served during the recent Inauguration
events as member of,sthe committee on
marking points oe historic interest. and
while engaged In this work he made the
discovery in the ola Octagon house. at New
York avenue and 18th street northwest,
which was occupied by President Madison
in 1914. after the White House had been
burned by the British 4
Describing his valuable find today, Mr..
keefer said to Star reporter:
For long time I had been hunting
about the old houses connected with the
history of General Washington to see If
could find anything of famous mantel
brought to this country by General Lafay-
cite during the Continental war, which was
one of a pair. A few weeks ago found
the much-sought and desired object at the
old Octagon house, conrner 18th and New
York avenue, where for years 1t has Stood
and no one ever supposing it to be of much
more than passing notice. On the corner
of it I found the marks of the French
maker. which corresponds with the other
one exactly.
when a boy was raised near the Hare
wood house, Charlestown, w. Va, which
was built by General Washington for his
brother, Samuel Washington. Hardwood is
still standing, and is one of the well-known
landmarks in that state. 1t was here that
Louis Philippe (afterward King of France)
spent nearly year, and where Washing
ton delighted to bring his friends and La
fayette. The house is about 100 feet long
and 30 feet wide. Heavy oaken panels
cover the interior walls, and the clumsy
iron hooks of 100 years ago mark the place
where great tapestries and paintings have
hung. The stairway is a solid bit of work,
and the landing of it stood tall,
ancient clock, exactly where it chimed the
hours when Dolly Madison and her states
man lover were married and before they
were called to Washington city-him twice
as president and Dolly to reign eight years,
idol of the White House.
Hardwood contains one Of the famous
mantels brought from France by Lafayette
and presented to Washington. The other
one was put away until years after, when
Washington and DR.. Thornton built the
Octagon house, and the second mantel was
placed in that dwelling, which was at the
time of it's building the handsomest in this
city. Hardwood house still remains In the
family of Washington, and is unchanged
In the graveyard near the mansion sleeps
Samuel Washington, who had seven wives
and five sons, whose bodies are there, too.
