Colonial "Gunston Hail." in Fairfax
county, Va. has been sod by Grant Parish,
real estate broker, for $1,000 TO Gen Rob-
ert Gibson Smith OF New York. The news
Of the sale IS interesting in many ways;
among real estate circles it viii give the
brokers a bit of gossip, for about all the
realty men In the country had the estate
listed for sale. Virtually Mr.. Parish sold
''Gunston Hail. twice within year. his
first client being Eek Representative Thomas
Il. Watson of Georgia. who was very anx-
ious for the estate but a hitch occurred in
the negotiations, which were still pending
when Gen. Smith came along and pur-
chased.
Gunston Hall is alive with noble memo
rles and. in colonial parlance, it is sacred
soil. Close by the mansion house is the
grave OF George Mason, one of the legal
pillars that George Washington leaned on,

George, which was ban;shed from our
lands
The mansion house, always known as
Gunston Hall. was built by George Mason
in 1855 He called it after his English an
cestry. 1t is a fine example of colonial
architecture, solid and substantial. The in
terror carvings and delicate tracery, much
of il being of rosewood. was doubtless
without a peer in southern homes of that
period Even to this day architects come
from far and near to admire and copy the
exquisite detail of the interior work done In
the days when the Indian chief PiScataway
padded his canoe on the Potomac. The
mansion Is eighty feet long by forty feet
wide being built of brick twice the size
OF those made today.
In Substantial Fashion.
Great cellars underie the whole house,
and the masonry is in as good q condi-
ton at the present time as when laid with
oyster shell mortar which deies the raw
ages of time.
On the north front of the mansion, which
is the principal entrance. there is square
porch built of brick and stone with point

mac river, is a smaller porch. pentagonal
