Washington's Coat-of-Arms

Regarding the Washington coat-ofarms some
odd discoveries have come to light Quite con-
trary to American belief the Washington
shield does not contain stars and stripes not
withstanding that more than thousand books
and as many published articles so proclaim
it. The facts are that the Washington shield
contain bars and mullets (spurs sof the knights
boots" The earliest reference which have
been able to find which announces the Washing
ton shield blazoned with stars and stripes, relates
to public banquet at Baltimore, Md, in 1851,
where the ideas of an English poet-Martin Tup-
per by name-were voiced proclaiming that the
American flag, with its heraldic notions Dor
Towed from the Washington shield which possess
ed stars and stripes. Ever since this banquet
American authors and orators have, without fur
Their investigation, accepted the statement as
correct. The English poet misled by his
fervid fancy, for the Heralds' college at London,
the highest authority on British heraldry, writes
follows
"A Washington shield with stars and stripes
(paIes) has never been of record"
1t is altogether probable that Topper well
as others, was deceived by the shape of the
mullets." These spurs, as worn by the knights
of old were round in FORM resembling r-odern
cog-wheels somewhat, and their bristling points
possibly suggested the stars" of which Upper

Colonial mansion which stands to this day IN an
excellent state of preservation and is generally
accounted, next to Mount Vernon, the most sig
nifcant of all the buildings that bear the impress
of Washingtons individuality. General Wash
ingtOn built Woodlawn as a wedding gift for his
favorite Nelly Custis, the adopted daughter upon
whom centered the affections of his later life.
The main building at Woodlawn, which is Of pure
Colonial design is forty by sixty feet in size. AS
in all such structures there are wings connected
by corridors with the main structure and these
wings little more than story in height,
while the central portion has height of two
stories.
Likewise located at no great distance from
Mount Vernon is Arlington Mansion, which is, in
almost the same degree as the manor house just
mentioned; monument to the architectural abil-
ity of George Washington. The mansion at Art
ington, to be sure, not erected until after
the death of Washington, but the builder
Washington Parke Custis. the adopted son of
George Washington, who had lived for years at
Mount Vernon and who was not only thoroughly
familiar with Washington's architectural ideas
but had talked over with him the requirements OF
the site at Arlington. Yet other houses for the
design and construction of which George Wash
ington was responsible are located in the pic
turesque Shenandoah ValIey-a region with which
he was particularly familiar by reason of the fact
that as young man he made the original
veys of all this land for Lord Fairfax.
George Washington induced his three brothers
to select this promising region for their homes
and he personally built, for his eldest brother,
Samuel the famous Hardwood Mansion on a com
handing site facing the Blue Ridge Mountains
Two miles from Hardwood is Claymount which is
generally accounted George Washington's archi-
tectural masterpiece He drew the plans for this
mansion but did not supervise its construction,
which was carried on by a relative. The manor
house consists of central building of brick with
two commodious wings and on each side a sep
arate two-story building connected with the long
rectangular building by a brick-walIed court yard
thirty feet square. The connected buildings, which
are all constructed almost wholly of yellow brick

main On the other hand, George Washington
IN later life, as the leading official of new re-
public and the founder Of a capital, had
thrust upon him innumerabIe questions of archi-
tectural policy and selection which, pertorce
requisitioned all his ability in this line.
That Washington should have developed such
ability as practical and consulting architect is
by no means strange when take into account
his early experience as surveyor. This occupa-
ton which he followed during much OF his young
manhood gave him splendid Judgment to the
relative qualifications of sites for both private
and public buildings, and his discernment was re-
fected in the advice he gave as to the sites for
the public buildings at the national capital and
the character of the buildings to be erected
thereon
According to tradition, George Washington
seated on the veranda of elevated country
house with the panorama of the present District
of Columbia spread out before him, chose what is
now known as Capitol Hill the site of the egis-
lative headquarters Of the government. He also
not only chose the site of the White House
Presidential Mansion. but personally conducted
the negotiations for the purchase of the needed
land. The work of actually designing the vari
Gus public buildings and laying out the streets and
parks of the new Federal City was left by Wash
ingtOn in other hands, but up to the time of his
last illness he exercised general supervision of
all creative work and his architectural ideas were
embodied in most of the plans drawn
But while Washington acted as consulting arch
itect with reference to many of our most notable
public buildings he actually and directly re
spOnsible for the plans of many private resi-
dences and these are consequently of even great
er interest than the public buildings as evidence

mansion at Mount Vernon was not the original
conception of George Washington, having been
built by his alfbrother Lawrence Washington,
some dozen years ere 1t came into the possession
of George Washington through inheritance How
ever, George Washington enlarged the original
residence by increasing its length and height and
he added various notable improvements to the
