COnnecticutADenue
Undergoing Rapid
Metan1OrphOSiS

THE change which has come
over the aspect of Connecticut
avenue is one Of the startling
things to one returning to Wash
ington after long absence. Gone
are the staid, comfortable resi-
dences with which the street used
to be lined, and in their stead
cocky little business houses are
rearing their crests. It's a mani
festation a bit distressing to those
of US who loved the drowsy, leis-
urely Washington of the before-the-
war days. But there's no use cry
ing over the inevitable. Con-
necticut avenue is dead as a resi-
dence street and the coup de
grace was given when the work
men started tearing down. the
Edison Bradley house at Dupont
circle.
For a while it seemed that the
circle might prove a barrier which
business could not pass. But the
branch office of an important
downtown bank is now a-building
on the uptown side of the circle.
1t will occupy the site on which
former Senator Clark's big brown
stone house used to stand and
which, when 1t was built, was con-
gidered way out in the country.
An automobile salesroom already
fills the triangle between Con-
necticut avenue and Nineteenth
street, and farther on up the ave-
nue. several fine old houses in
which social history has been
made are being torn down or re-
modelled for business purposes.
-
THERE is, for example, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Cleveland
Perkins turreted brownstone
mansion, on the corner where
Twentieth street and Connecticut
avenue intersects at r. And in
the block below, the front of the
old Cotton house is being torn out
and the terrace is being cut away
and a street-level entrance built
to funny green house which looks
like a cake of CASTLE soap. Evil
IDENTIFY both are to be used for
business purposes.
The two Cotton girls Marjorie,
now Mrs. Randall Hagner, and
Emily, now Mrs. Archibald
Davis-grew up in the old white
house now being remodeled-their
father was once governor. OF Por-
to Rico, you know-and it was
the scene OF much hospitality.
Later, you remember, the house
was used by the Club de Vingt,
which enjoyed a brief but joyous
career in Washington.
The Perkinses have been abroad
for several months-I believe they
have a son, Henry Cleveland Per-
kins. jr., in the diplomatic serv-
ice-and their house has been
closed. but it was rather a shock to
pass by there the other day and
find it in process of being de-
molished
NOTICING the same day that
the George I. Maryes' house,
ut the corner of N street and
Connecticut avenue, was in the
hands Of workmen, / began to
suspect that the Maryes, 100,
were being driven out by the
march Of progress. But, no, they
are simply camping upstairs
while the entire lower floor is
being redecorated. They wanted
to have the work done while they
were here to superintend the job,
and they expect to leave the latter
part of May for the West coast.
They are waiting for their young
