Preparatory to the erection of a new
ive-story apartment hotel, Hugh ].
Phillips has purchased a lot at the
southwest corner of New Jersey ave-
nue. and streets southeast from John
NJ. Henderson.
The lot fronts 103 feet in c street and
is 76 feet in New Jersey acenue, con-
tanning 1o.254 square feet. The consid-

Thomas ]. Fisher & Co. inc, nego-

In the construction of the proposed
hotel, Mr.. Phillips. who has the con-
tract for clearing the site near the
Capitol for the new plaza, intends TO
use as much of the material obtained
from the historic Washington Inn, at 224
North Capitol street.
Historic Structure.
Tine Washington Inn is pointed out as
one of Washington's most historic struc-
lures. 1t was built as two residences
in 1889 for George Washington by
the eminent architect. William Thorn
ton, of Philadelphia. 1t was later
merged into one structure when it be-
came the Washington Inn, the rendez-
vous of the wit and wisdom of the Capt.

ionable neighborhood near the Capitol.
The Inn survived a fire when the Brit
ish ransacked and burned the Capitol ir
1914.
When the blocks adjoining the Capitol
were condemned for clearing for the
plaza, Mr.. Phillips conceived the idea OF
constructing an apartment hotel from
the materials survived in the historic
inn which would go to the making OF
building unique in conserving certain
historic sentiments which Washington.
ians have long allied to the Inn.
The colonial brick in the Washington
Inn will be used almost exclusively In
the building. About fifty apartments
will be contained in the structure.
Old colonial to carry out the relations
to the WASHINGTON Inn will be the ar.
chftectural motif Of the new structure.
