generations. Her maternal grand
father. the late former Vice President
Levi P. Morton. built the house at
1900 Rhode Island avenue, where Mrs.
Eustis and her daughters have lived
for some years. It was here that Mrs.
Eustis, as Edith Morton, made her
debut, and in 1888, in the same draw
ing rooms, she presented her daugh-
ter, Miss Anne Eustis The late Mr..
William Corcoran Eustis and his fam
lily occupied the famous Corcoran
House on Lafayette Square. on the site
Of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. When this historic old
house was sold to the Chamber of
Commerce it was with with the pro-
viso that the great old desk used BY
Daniel Webster while he lived in Cor
coran House would be retained in the
new building forever The great Mr..
Webster leased the house of w. w.
Corcoran during a portion OF his resi-
dence in the Federal Capital, serving
IN both houses of Congress, and as
Secretary Of State for more than one
President.
One of the Interesting Old
Places Of the District.
The old Corcoran House on
Lafayette Square was one of the inter-
esting old houses OF the District. The
beautiful garden extended northward
to street and was sold for the oriei-
nal Army and Navy Club, which now
is used for offices, the new club house
being across street. The house itself
was typical OF its vintage and although
1t had been the scene of many great
functions. history making in their
brilliance, 1t was far behind the times
in architecture and Arrangement. Miss
Eustis' great-grandfather, Mr.. Corco-
ran, built and endowed the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, the original gallery on
Pennsylvania avenue at Seventeenth
street and now occupied by the United
States Court of Claims. The Louise
Home was another Of Mr.. Corcoran's
philanthropies, for he built and en-
dowed 1t as q memorial to his daugh-
ter Louise, who was Miss Eustis'
grandmother.
The Morton house Is not without its
history. for here the great late Elihu
Root, Secretary Of State, lived and
here his daughter Edith made her
debut and was married to Lieut.. Col.
U. S. Grant, Sd. Its history has to
do with Republicans for generations
and now that history changes to the
Democratic camp. And so the wheels
OF progress turn in the National Capt.
tai, as the business Of the city creeps
into residential sections, and old
homes, made famous by brilliant en-
tertainments for distinguished men
and women, are replaced BY imposing
modern buildings or reduced to park
| ing lots.
