PURCHASE HOME OF
 BETTY WASHINGTOH
Patriotic Women Buy House Of
 Presidents Sister

Frcderickshurg. Va, Jan. q. - AmcriCa's newest national shrine, Kenmore, the mansion that was the home of Betty Washington Lewis, only sister of George Washington, Is 10 he dedicated May l. and Presi- dent Coolidge has been asked to at tend the ceremony.
 Tn the drawing room of the his toric house a simple ceremony, or Jan. ], marked the transfer Of the last S1,ooo Of the purchase price oC $3o000 10 Inc former owners, and the property passed into the pos session Of the Kenmore Association, a national organization with head quarters here.
 Three years ago the property was about 10 be cut up into building lots and sold when a group Of women,
New Britain herald., 1925-01-24

representing the Washington Lewis Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, conceived the idea of purchasing the estate and preserving it for posterity. Accord lngly the Kenmore Association was organized and an active campaign was carried to every state in the Union.
 Kenmore was built in 1753 by Colonel Fielding Lewis to be the home of his bride, and 1t was there that he and Betty Washington lived for many years. At that time the mansion house of an S00-acre farm, 1t now occupies a quiet and digni- fled spot in the residential section here. Stately and imposing without. it's interior walls are adorned with stucco work which George Wash ington himself designed and had executed at his orders by Hessian prisoners of war.
 True to the older type of colonial buildings, mere IS no Feranda, or porch; steps lead directly into the front entrance. The drawing room, where the presentation exercises were conducted a few days ago, was the gathering place of the flower of colonial aristocracy, and later, when the new nation was born, it was the scene of many cele- brations in which both American and French officers toasted the vic- tories won
 The Kenmore Association now plans to raise additional funds as an endowment to insure the care and maintenance of the mansion for all time.
