East of the square just described is the
site of the naval hospital in square 9iS, 10
Gated on the lines of Pennsylvania avenue.
9th 10th and Z streets. This square was
of but four lots, which. in 1896, were as
signed to Carroll Prout and the United
States and in 1901 a redivision vested all
of them in Prout and Carroll. Lewis Deb
lois owned the east portion of the square
in 1897, having Improvements valued for
taxation at 81 600 in 1902, whom 3 cents was
the current value of the ground. This i'm
provement was an obong story-and-a-half
structure on slight elevation fronting 10th
street and it was for many years the naval
hospital. DR.. John Harrison was in charge
when it was opened in 1921. and for num-
Der of years and afterward DR.. Joseph
Walsh. then hospital steward, lived here,
as did the nurse, Mrs. Nancy Kelley.
When the Washington almshouse was
burned in 1858 the inmates, few in num-
Der. and the superintendent, John r.
Queen. occupied the building for a few
months. During the civil war the build
ing gave way to the present structure.

the government In 1921, being occupied
In 1854 Congress appropriated $4,000 for
erecting the building and further appro-
priations aggregating nearly 100000 were
expended
On the square south. No. 949, between
E, G, 9th and 10th streets, there was little
doing in the way Of Improvement until
about the middle of the last century, if the
records are correct. Plated for twenty
lots in 1896. those numbered from 4 to
IA went to Mr.. Prout, and the others to
the United States. In the next year Dun
lop and Carlton have the United States
lots.
In 1900 Commodore Tingey has lot on
G street, and the year following Thomas
Law bought lot /, corner of G and 10Th

many years the ground was an open COM
mon. The valuation per foot fixed in 1902
at cents per foot and In 1905 reduced to
half that rate, was unchanged till in the
forties.
In 1912 the four lots fronting 10th street

Southeast Washington. Among others
called are Elijah Acton, navy yard
blacksmith, father of Joe Acton. a veteran
member Of the police force, who settled
here about 1897, and Fred Prospect, long of

The latter was a musician, as were his
sons, who were also in the Marine Band,

talent enough for evening entertain

Sixty Years Without Improvement.

With the exception of the southeast cor
ner of square 973, between 10th and 18th,
E and G streets, there was no improvement
for sixty years or more. Indeed, there was
SO little Of mans handiwork in sight so
far as homes are concerned, that the name
Of the Hermitage was not inappropriate
for the house at that corner.
This square is described in The old annals
as part of the tract called 'Houpyard," or
"Hopyard" which having belonged to Rob
ert Douglas was confiscated 1t is we'll
known that during the war of the revolu-
ton there were some who opposed resist
ance to Great Britain, and a number fought
on that side. After the termination of the
war many settled in Canada, and their de-
scendants are there today. 1t is thought
that Douglas was one of these, and under
the act of Maryland his property was seized
and sold.
William Bailey was the purchaser in 1874
In 1897. after having passed through Peter
Cazenave and G. French's hands, a part
of the square went to Greenleaf and Blod-
gets possession. Then the ground, 139 by
49, at the corner of 18th and G streets, with
dwelling house, was transferred to Pratt
Francis ct al. for 81 600. This comprised lots
l. 2, and % of the twenty-five lots assign
ed in 1901 to Marris X. Nicholson, Prout and
the United States.
In 1903 Commodore Tingey bought this
property, the consideration being $500,
though the corporation valuation was 81 900
on the building on the ground In after
years 1t was long valued at s., 700. Commo-
dore Tingey later extended his holdings
buying in 1912 lots to 8, 20 and 81 thus
owning the southern half of the square
