Site of Old Suter Tavern
Sold at Auction.
PURCHASE PRICE WAS SITS
Historic Location in Georgetown Said TO
Be Reconstructed Tavern Where
First President Was a Patron.

The two fame houses at the north
west corner of Thirty-first and K streets
have been sold at public auction to An
tonic Lavazzo The price was $2.775.
This sale again brings Suffers Tavern
before the public. local historians claim
ing that the present buildings constitute
reconstruction of the original tavern,
where Washing gton and his commission
ers and dfgnitilries OF the latter part OF
the eighteenth century used to meet to
discuss the anairs OF the nation over the
fine wines for which Suffers Tavern was
famous.
Grade Was Lower Then.
Water street. in the days of suter. was
on lower grade than at present, much
OF the land lying between the present
roadway OF Water street and the river,
ssS..3S flled ground. Near Suffers TaV-
can was the Georgetown entry 20 the
ferry which carried travellers and resi-
dents to Virginia. Suffers Tavern was
on the direct road that led 20 Bladens-
burg as far as Kalorama, then turning
in a northeasterly direction. Late prints
OF Suter's Tavern show a building re-
first story is stucco, the second frame.
Marks of OIden Days.
In the old days. where Gilbert's foun-
dry now is. to the east OF the tavern was
a large hitching post and carriage yard.
Pictures of the old place show a hinge
swinging sign with 'Sutor's Tavern"
Iettered thereon.
AS is well known among those inter-
ested in local history the site at the
northeast corner Of Thirty y-second street
and K is claimed by some as the place
where Suffers Tavern was located The
oldest residents of the place, however
those who have lived over four score
years-refute the truth of this state
ment, the general contention being that
Suffers Tavern was at the corner OF
Thirty-first and x streets, being the
same property sold to Lavazzo.
The Thirty-secOnd and X street site
was also sold the other day. Louis Hop
fenmaier being the purchaser. This site
belonged to the John A Baker estate
