George Washington, favoring the east

building lots on North Capitol stree just
north Of the Capitol. There in 1895 he
had built two large houses similar To two
which he had seen in Philadelphia. Some

workmen to work on the houses. Despite
the seemingly bright beginning of the
scheme, the syndicate failed to meet the
terms of the contract. A number of beau

point in 1894, but not finished until years
afterward.
On the north side of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., commencing at 10Th street, there are
six three story houses which are relics OF
the Greenleaf building days, for although
they were never finished by the Specu-

George WASHINGTON found that such a
profit had been made by Greenleaf he
was angry with the commissioners for
not having demanded higher prices for
the government lots. The substantial
houses built by Law at 46S and 40 y
street are still In good state of preser-
walton.
One hundred .and thirteen years ago,
when Law. the rich Englishman, took his
bride to 4SS n street. there was little for
the relative of Washington to see except
the broad fields in front of the house and
the wide river to the south and west.
This house was also n its early history
the home of Judge Cranch, then impor-
tant in judicial life. At 40 N street

that the completion of the houses would

appealed to CARROLL to grant more time.
