this was perfect at the end Of
more than a century of use. So
was another unusual feature of
the lower hall. The original
painted floor had survived a
stencil scroll of grape. vine
leaves and fruit. Previous ten
ants had covered the floor with
oil cloth. The elaborate painting
had unwittingly been preserved.
A LTHOUGH eager to have
IA "The Lindens" for them
selves, Mr.. and Mrs. Morris de-
cided to suggest the house as an
historical possession to the Co.
lonial Danes and the Society
for the Preservation of New
England Antiques. Neither Or
ganiZation was able to finance
the restoration.
So Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
bought "The Lindens" from the
real estate man who had al
ready sold the paneling of the
drawing room to the Kansas
City Museum. This paneling
was later reproduced exactly by
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris.
Buying the house was simple
in comparison with the task
that awaited it's new owners.
How were they to move it to
Washington? Mr.. Walter Ma
The Washington times., 1938-03-05

comber. the resident architect
of reconstructed Colonial Will
1iamsburg, was called into con-
Sultation.
He took over the task of tear
ing down the old house, hauling
it from New England and re-
constructing it in Washington.
This job, it frightens me to
think of it, he accomplished in
the relatively short time of
three years.
Mr.. Macomber invented all
sorts of ingenious methods for
marking with correct numbers
every piece of wide pine floor
board, of window sash, stairway.
panel and even every nail. With
great anxiety the precious wall
paper was steamed off, piece by
piece.
Later, with equal anxiety it
was put back on the walls in
Washington. Mr.. Macomber
also helped Mrs. Morris to make
the house livable according to
modern standards without dis
turbing room proportions or
sacrificing any essential ele-
mentS of design or structure.
Each floor has been completely
equipped with the most modern
arrangements for heating, cook
ing and sanitation.

beds draped in damask and
chintz. Still another floor has
several more master bedrooms
and servants quarters.
should have told you at
the beginning Of this story that
The LindenS" was built by
Robert Hooper, a merchant of
Marblehead whose wealth and
luxurious habits named him
King" Hooper. A bulletpierced
doorway shows that the house
was in the midst of Revolution
ary firing when it was occupied
by General Gage.
The flagstones on the terrace
at the rear of the house came
from the home of another Co
lonial King" King" Carter,
a pre-Revolutionary potentate
who lived along the Rappahan-
mock River.
Almost as amazing as the
success of Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
ris in moving The Lindens" to
a new environment is their gift
in restoring the house authen-
tically and at the same time saw
ing it from that museum like
atmosphere that sometimes en-
CULTS restorations. THE Lin
dens," on KaloranG Road, is
really a gracious and distin-
guiShed home.

valance follows the skirt of the
Spanish-foot tavern table.
In the passageway from the
library to the drawing room is
a panel which hides a secret
stairway leading to the base
ment. Down this narrow way
you step carefully to the base
ment, now a playroom. After
the manner of old tavern dance
halls this huge room may be
converted into two rooms by
dropping a panel partition
hinged to a central ceiling
beam.
In two fireplaces are many
ancient cooking utensils. A
priceless piece of furniture in
this room is the long trestled
table of pine with maple feet,
said to have been found in
Cherry Valley in New York
where it witnessed the mas
Sacre that destroyed the COM
munity in the summer Of 1777.
This piece of furniture, accord
ing to antiquarians, is finer
than all other contemporary
American tables Of the trestle
type.

blinds and the Oriental carpets
are both of the sort that were
in use in American homes in the
Eighteenth Century.
A pair of rare Philadelphia
card tables flank the doorway.
Fascinating to a connoiSeur is
the candle bracket with glass
arms and feStoonS of cut prisms.
Before Mrs. Morris decided that
the damask bell pull was correct
she studied bell pulls for
months as the Congressional
Library.
THE woodwork in the dining
l. room is a pale yellow and
the rug harmonizes with the
green and gold draperies. The
table with its three part tripod,
the shield black Hepplewhite
chairs, the American wall table
with its Georgian gilt mirror
make hornelike and inviting this
charming room.
A slight liberty was taken in
the library by the introduction
of book shelves. This was only
done, however, after proper au-
thority had been found for the
design. Most of the woodwork
has been painted its original
reddish or Spanish brown. Here
the draperies are hand blocked

TFIE bathrooms are a Joy. In
= cidentally, English maya
zines in asking Mrs. Morris for
pictures Of her rebuilt house,
particularly requested detailed
views Of the baths. Adroit Amer
lean plumbing evidently still
mYstifies our British relatives.
Making the hand-dipped can
dies useful for electric wiring
without destroying their ancient
look was another delicate un-
del taking. It took months of
experimentation to perfect the
wiring so that the current would
not be strong enough to melt the
wax.
ALI Of the workmen who re-
moved "The Lindens" were i'm
ported from Williamsburg. "It
takes a certain attitude Of mind
and a real historic appreciation
to do this kind Of a job," said
Mrs. Morris.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
seem to have had the proper at.
titude of mind in regard to its
furnishings. The drawing room
walls are painted and paneled
a delicate gray green. Gold bro
catelle is draped from Chippen.
