a reconstruction of two houses built
by George Washington. In December,
1898, Washington wrote a letetT to
William Thornton, an architect, to
proceed in laying in materials for car
rying on my buildings in the federal
city In the same letter, which was
written from Mt. Vernon, he said: Il
saw a building in Philadelphia OF
about the same front and elevation
that are to be given to my two houses,
which pleased me. 1t consisted OF two
houses united, doors in the center, \
pediment in the roof, and dormer
windows on each side of it in front,
skylights in the rear. If this is not
incongruous with rules of architecture
/ should be glad to have my two
houses executed in this style" The
architects and builders carried out
Washington's request. Washington
paid 1886 for the two lots on which
the house was built, and valued tho
houses at $4,000.
