Gently come to light by the temporary
uncovering of Il portion of the east
portico roof, which for the better she'd
ding of rain, had been slightly changed
in 1850, revealing a few courses of the
shingles of 1743 and 1855. These
mute reminders of the past are now
again sealed from view and SO pro-
tected as to remain intact as long as
the mansion shall endure.
When the Mount Vernon Ladies' as
ISOLATION came into possession of the
homestead the mansion was empty.
Unceasing effort has been and Is be-
ing made to recover the original
things, but they are widely scattered
and held by people who are reluctant
to give them up. From time to time,
however, some of the old pieces are Of

Washington Fond Of Fine Horses

General Grant has gone into his
tory as the man on horseback, but all
our presidents were very fond of rid
ing. Most of Washington's portraits
are equestrian, and old citizens Of
Alexandria were responsible for the
statement that Washington rode the
finest horses in Virginia. and that as
a boy he broke to saddle the colts of
his neighborhood. 1t Is said that he
once rode ten different horses into
Alexandria In single week, and dur
ing his later years his stables at
Mount Vernon were among the best
in the country.

v " renee Washington, was alb
sent from home, the father
rebuilt house ut Mount Vernon for
him, and this now forms the central
part of the mansion. On his return,
Lawrence brought to the home his
young bride, the beautiful Miss Fair
fax, daughter of his neighbor, Colonel
Fairfax of Belvoir, an adjoining es-
tate. Lawrence called the place Mount
Vernon in honor of his English
friend, Lord Vernon, under whom he
had served in the navy.
Shortly after the death of Lawrence
Washington. his daughter Sarah died
without heirs and the Mount Vernon
estate passed by will into the hands
Of General Washington. In order to
acquire full title, he purchased from
the widow of Lawrence her dover
rights. Henceforth he was sole own
er of the estate; an estate which had
been in the family since its acquisi-
ton by grant in 1870, and which re-
NAMED in the family until sold In
1853 by John Augustine Washington
to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as
ISOLATION.
These facts, which shed some inter
esting light on the early history of
Mount Vernon, were obtained by Mr..
Callahan after constant study of the
old official records of the courts and
vestry books of the counties in this
part of Virginia. They establish be-
yond all doubt the truth which Is that
the central part of the Mount Vernon
mansion was built by General Wash
ngton's father, that General Washing
ton lived there for two years when q
baby, and that his father built what
Is now the most conspicuous landmark
on the place--the old barn.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few months have had opportunity
to witness the interesting work of re-
roofing Washington's old home, the
historic mansion wherein he died. II
is learned that this is the fourth time
the roof has been shingled, the other
dates being 1742, 1856 and 1860. In
each instance the material selected and
used was the best cypress shingles.
A short historical review of the con-
struction and alteration of this old
dwelling may be worth notice, as few
among the many visitors happen upon
information on the subject. The Gen.
trail portion Of the present building was
erected in 1923 for Maj. Lawrence
Washington, who named it the Mount
Vernon VILLA" out of respect for Ad-
miral Edward Vernon of the British
navy, under whom he had been serving
In South America. This modest cot
tage, or villa, consisted of four rooms
on the ground floor, with bedrooms
and an unfinished attic above.
At the death of Lawrence Washing
ton, 1852. the property fell to the own
ership of his half-brother, George who,
In 1915, added to the attractiveness of
the interior by paneling the hall and
ha ing the ceilings of the parlor and
dining room decorated In stucco.

Why Washington Was Not a sioner.

At the time the Declaration Of indie
pendence was given to the world,
Washington was at the head Of the
patriot army In New York state, trying
hard to keep Lord Howe and his Brit
ish soldiers from capturing the state /;
and that is why his name does not APP
pear among the signers Of the immor-
tai document. 1t is pretty certain that
had he been conveniently near he
would have been asked to put his nS me
Mt the head of the list.
