LAST WHITE
HOUSE OF THE
CONFEDERACY
TO Be MADE A MUSEUM
Devoted Women Will Save
Historical Building

Danville, Va, Nov 26.-The identi-
ty of the old Sutherlin residence, the
last whitehouse of the Confederacy, is
to be preserved. The administrators
of the estate of the late Mrs. w. T.
Sutherlin, acting for the father and
guardian of the infant heir, E. w. Bar
rett, of Birmingham, Ala, had deter
mined upon the division of the beauti-
full estate into building lots, but pa
triotic people in the South united in
the effort to save this relic of the civil
war. The property was purchased for
torty-eight thousand dollars.
The preservation of the property
was made certain through the influ-
ence Of the Ann Eliza Johns chapter,
United Daughters of the Confederacv,
Mrs. Bergman Green, president, who
appealed not only to the people of
Danyille, but to all patriotic South
erners for aid. A mass meeting of Cit
liens was held at which the purchase
price was pledged The women stated
that If the citizens would subscribe
the cash payment of twenty thousand
dollars, the Confederate Daughters
would assume the remainder of the
debt and care for the property.
There is probably not a handsomer
property than this in the whole South

cltltles were not what they are now.
Much of the material that went into
its construction was imported. 1t was
built most massively. Danville was
village when it was first constructed,
and deer roamed in the woods where
now there is flourishing municipal
ity. The old building still stands firm
and sound while houses of more mod
ern construction are dropping into de-
cay.
This was the last home that shelter
ed Jefferson Davis, president of the
Confederacy, after his fight from
Richmond. 1t was here that Mr.. Davis
issued his last executive proclama-
ton, and here his cabinet assemb led
for the last time. 1t was here that
John S. Wise, formerly governor of
Virginia, and now a well known attor-
ney of New York, delivered to Mr.
Davis notice from General Robert E.
Lee of his surrender of the Army of
Northern Virginia at Appomattox. The
table and chairs are still preserved on
which Mr. Davis wrote his last mes
sages and signed his last official doc
uments and in which he leaned back
with a weary heart and broken soul.
The purchase Of the property as
whole and its dedication to public uses
has evoked much approval. Mrs. Green
representing the Danville chapter of
the Daughters, laid the matter before
the general gathering of the Daugh-
tiers recently assembled in Washing
ton. An appeal will be made to ev-
cry chapter of the organization and to
the United Confederate Veterans
throughout the south for aid in rails
ing the balance of the purchase price.
1t is proposed to convert the prop
erty into public park and museum of
history Little or no expenditure will
be required to turn the land to park
uses, while the dignified old building
will be we'll adapted to conversion in
to a public library and repository of
historic relics. The place will be Off
cially designated as the Last White
House of the Confederacy."
