brought from England. For many years
the old home was the only brick struc-
ture In Georgetown.
Joseph Merse. first registrar Of the
Treasury, during Washington's first
term, was one of the earliest known oc-
cupants OF the home. He entertained
George Washington and other notables

Later the home was sold to the Car
roll family. and held by them until
1872 1t was put under a six-year lease
to e. Rittenhouse. and later bought
by him. 1t has since remained in the
hands Of his heirs. the estate having
been partially divided when the home
was lately sold to Mr.. Newbold. presi-
dent Of the Merchants Transfer and
Storage Company. the present owner.
1t Is intended to preserve the original
building by removing two wings of
modern construction. These will be re-
built when the building is replaced. one
to be q sun parlor, the other q break

pected to cost about s25 900. c. L. Saers

In the present clearing the builders
have uncovered an old well that ap-
pears to have been hidden for a CEN
tury. 1t is built In with stone, and
was found filled with ashes. 1t prob
ably was used by the occupants of the
home $50 years ago.
