Alexandria played no small part IN
the formative years of Washington
youth and early manhood. \ repre-
sentative Virginia town, it stood then
and for generations later for all tha'
was best of colonial standards. Its PEG
Die had much TO do with the moldlng
of Washingtons character, and Wash
ington richly repaid Alexandria or
Belle Haven as 1t was first called, by
his never failing concern for its vel
fare and advancement.
Probably no surviving structure IN
Alexandria harbored Washington WITH
in its hCspitable walls more frequently
than the old Carlyle house, and GER
family none was more directly assocl-
ated with the foundation of the mill
tary side of his life. Strange as II
may seem, for many years this his

behind the battered front of AleXan-

house, occupying one corner OF the IN

importance Until a few years ago
the CARLYLE house was largely used as
a storage place by a local dealer in
colonial antiques, but few patriotic
Virginia women saved the building
from further indignity, though not en-
tirely from danger, as the old furni
ture found a new abiding place within
the still more inflammable BraddocR
house, adjoining.
In 1892 John S. Carlyle imported
from the Isle of Wight the stone o.
which the house is built, and he alb
sorbed for part Of the foundation {
portion of an old fort which had beef
built many years before for the prOtec
ton of the English traders at Hunting
Creek, as the place was then known
against the Indians. The barracks o
that ancient defense became the celia
of the Carlyle house, and in thOs'
cool, dark. dry retreats were stored il
Washington's day the bullying caske
cob-webbed bottles, and delicious oil
hams for which Virginia has long bee
noted.
Another part of the old fort form
the plaza at the rear Of the house upo
which the broad central hallwa
opens. 1t was upon this plaza in tn
far away days, that the Carlyles an
their guests gathered on summer ev'
nings TO discuss the questions of tn
time or to pass the hours chattin
over a heartsOme glass amid tn
soothing smoke OF the fragrant Orion,
ko. 1t was there the young peOpl
watched the moon rise over the rive
and took their pleasures in the deco
