SPAIN TO PURCHASE.
HENDERSON HOUSE
Mansion at Sixteenth and
Fuller Streets Soon to
Become Embassy.

The Spanish Ambassador has Just
received authorization from Madrid TO
complete the purchase for an embassy
of the stone mansion on the northeast
corner of Sixteenth and Fuller streets
owned by Mrs. John b. Henderson and
built by her five years ago as home
for the Vice President.
Papers will be passed in a few days,
it is expected. The purchase Of an
embassy, for which money was appro-
priated several months ago. has been
one of the first activities of the new
Spanish Ambassador. Senior Don Al
ejandro Padilla Bell, and the enbas-
sy establishment probably will be set
up in it's new home soon after the
purchase is completed.
An Embassy Center.
The building is surrounded by en-
bassies. Mrs. Henderson said yester-
day that the purchase is in line with
her aspirations to make the Meridian
Hill section an embassy center.
She planned originally to make the
building a permanent home for the
Vice Presidents and memorial to her
husband and for that purpose had 1t
built and furnished. She had planned
to place in it the library of her hus-
band, who had served on the Senate
finance and foreign relations commit
tees and collected a considerable num-
Der of books on those subjects.
President Coolidge at that time was
Vice President and felt that he could
not afford to increase living expenses,
which would be necessary for SO
sumptuous an establishment. bill
in Congress to provide for the main
tenance of the building as a residence
for Vice Presidents failed.
Consequently, Mrs. Henderson's
offer of the building to the Govern
ment for that purpose was not ac-
cepted.
Transaction Is Recent.
Since then. she said, she has had
several opportunities to dispose of the
property advantageously, but has re-
fused, waiting patiently until an offer
was made by some ambassadorial
establishment.
In her original plans for the build
ing as a residence of the Vice Presi-
dents, Mrs. Henderson said yesterday,
she had the idea that with a house
OF his own, equipped with an attrac-
tive dining room and pleasing acces-
sories, the Vice President could
straighten out over the dining room
table many of the misunderstanding
that arise between the White House
and Congress. He would represent
liaison agent between the two estaD-
Iishments.
With ample space for entertaining,
she felt, the Vice Presidents house
hold could relieve the President of
much time and energy in receiving
the ever-increasing delegations which
come to Washington. Also, she felt,
without rent to pay the Vice Presi-
dent could be relieved of living in a
hotel.

of parks and Fairgrounds in the area.
1t is known that these will receive the
