OF the churches here listed the
- Baptist Church, on Tenth street,
occ,,nied the site of the build
ing in which President Lincoln was
assassinated, and the one on e street
northwest is still standing and was
for some time the Knights Of Column
bus Hall. st. Mathews Catholic
Church for many years stood where
the Southern Building is now located.
The site of old st. Patrick's. which
was around the corner from the pres
ent church, is now covered With stores.
Christ Episcopal Church on the Navy
ward is, of course, still standing and
little changed, as Is, of course, st.
Johns on Lafayette Square and
Ephiphany on G street. The Friends
Meeting House is as Of yore, and so
are the two Lutheran churches men
toned. The one at Eleventh and H
streets is of especial interest, since 1t
was at this point that one must go
in 1900 to ford the large stream which
then flowed in soutneasternly direc-
ton on its way to the Tiber.
Foundry Church site is now occupied
by the Colorado Building, and Wesley
M. e. Church was replaced with the
present building In 1856. Ryland
Chapel, on the Island, is still standing,
having been, like so many other local
churches, used as a hospital during
the Civil War. Rev. Mr.. Laurie'S
church later became WillaTd's Hall.
The Jewish Synagogue on Eighth
street occupies the site OF Rev. Mr.
Tuston's Presbyterian Church. the
First Presbyterian is still there, though
it was announced some time ago tnat
the congregation would soon sell the
property and select another location.
The Second Presbyterian Is well
known as the New York Avenue
PRESBYTERIAN Church, and the Fourth
PRESBYTERIAN, beautiful church in its
day, has long since given away to
row of one-story stores at Ninth street
and Grant place. The Unitarian
Church became the old Police Court.
William Henry Harrison, although a
Presbyterian in faith, had little time
to attend church in Washington, since
it Is said the off1ce-seekers killed him
on March 4, 164l, and died on April
4. following. However, the church to
which he is accredited Is the New
York Avenue Presbyterian, and there
is no doubt that "Old Tippe Canoe"
sought refuge here in divine worship,
upon every available opportunity, from
the inceSsant pleadings of the poll
ticians who at least had much to do
with his death so soon after his taking
office.
President John Tyler, who succeeded
Gen. Harrison, was an Episcopalian and
attended st. Johns Church, opposite
the White House. President Polk was
a Presbyterian and attended the his
toric First Presbyterian Church in John
Marshall place. Gen. Zachary Taylor
otherwise known as "Old Rough and
Ready attended st. Johns Church
until his death, July 8, 1850, which
occurred at the White House after
few days illness, brought on, some say,
by overindulging in cherries and ice
water. .,.
TT was the eldest daughter of Presi-
L dent Taylor who married Jefferson
Davis, the Southern chieftain. An
other daughter. Betty, married Col.
