respectable brick building OF the style or
the early days of the republic, these low.
rambling structures have been, are now
being, torn down and replaced by strucr-
ures Of modern design and construction.
The old barracks proper occupied the Sth
street side of the block, and by reason OF
their strange architecture and antiquity
were always objects Of interest to the gen.
soldiers In the year 1901, OF bricks made on
the spot. and cost about S33, 000 which
money was appropriated for the purpose by
the continental congress. They were one
story structures Of brick. coated with COM
mon cement and painted a steel-gray color.
Although the outer walls were flush with
the building line, the interior showed a
long, high arcade. opening into the plaza
or parade ground through a series of grace
full Roman arches reaching from the
ground to the roof These romantic-look-
ing buildings extended from G to H street,
and were inclosed on the street side with a
low brick wall plastered and painted to
correspond with the design of the build
ings. Midway of these barracks was a
plain, square brick two-story structure,
used as quarters for the officers on duty
there The main entrance to the bar
racks and interior court was through
large brick archway on 9Th Street, where
an armed sentinel was always on duty.
Once Occupied by British Troops.
When the British troops captured Wash
ington during the war of 1912 they occu-
pied the marine barracks for short time
as a post, and 1t was probably on that &C.
count that they did not attempt to destroy
1t. The old building, therefore, has the dis
tinction of being the only public building
n the capital at the time that was not
burned or damaged by the invading army
The old marine barracks are peculiarly
identified with the establishment and de-
velopment of the order of Knights of
Pythias, and are known by many members

OF that organization as the cradle Of
Pythianism.
The latter part of April, 1866. a commit
tee of the order was appointed to revise
and publish new ritual That committee
consisted of ]. H Rathbone, founder Of
the order, then a clerk in the War Depart
ment; Clarence M. Barton, q sergeant and
schoolmaster at the marine barracks. and
Edward Dunn. sergeant major of the ma
rine corps.
The entire work of that committee was
performed in the orderly room. now part
of the guard room. at the barracks. The
committee changed the original ritual In
many respects and had 1t printed as re,
vlsed. The ritual has since remained
practically unchanged. At that time there
were but 179 members of the order. where
as at the present time the membership
numbers nearly 100000 Messrs. Rathpone
and Barton are dead.
Sergeant Dunn, who is still resident OF
this city, tells many interesting INCIDENTS
connected with the early history OF the OLD
barracks. For instance, he says that
Aaron Burr, after his arrest for alleged
treason, was a prisoner in the southeast
room on the second floor of the center
house. and also that Rear Admirai
privateer Alabama, was prisoner IN the
same room shortly after the close OF the
civil war. He says that Admiral Semmes
was brought from Mobile, Ala, to this city
by Lieutenant French, First Sergeant
Thomas Jones and Sergeant Pat Cassidy
The New Barracks.
Good progress has been made by the
architects in replacing the old buildings
with new structures more in accord with
modern IDEAS and demands An entirely
new set of barracks has been erected along
the 9th street front, and gives a fair idea
of the general design Of the approved prof.
ect for the entire square. These are two
story brick buildings with battlemented
parapets, built of brown brick and having
