Douglas, then a senator from Illinois,
joined Senator Rice in the enterprise,
and SO, too, did John c. Breckenridge
of Kentucky, who was at that time
vice-president. The houses were of a
magnif1cence not usual in the Wash
ington Of that period. and were the
talk of the town. They were given a
frontage of As feet and the land on
which they were built extended 800
feet north to X street. When com.
pleted, the corner house was occupied
by Stephen A. Douglas, the middle one
by Senator Rice and the house at the
west end of the row was occupied by
Mr.. Breckenridge.
Senator Rice put a deed of trust
against the property, or at least
against his interest in 1t, and the
mortgage came to be acquired by Al
fred Lee, a colored man, who kept 4
feed store in Georgetown. and died In
about the year 1868, leaving an e.
tate valued at 100000. The Rice
house was part of his estate, and 1t
may be that the other houses were
also, but on this point the informant
