of the site for S492.18 in 1902 to
Timothy Caldwell OF Philadelphia
who erected the building which now
stands at the back Of the main
structure. In 1906 Caldwell pur-
chased from Lingan for $432.5O. a
small portion of land adjoining the
25 feet on the east and enlarged the
house he had built by adding the
front part of 2017 l street as it is
seen today. In 1903 Caldwell sold
the building for $4,000 to Post
master General Gideon Granger.
Granger held title to the property
for five years. reconveying it in 1918
to Caldwell, who retained ownership
until 1910. Francis Markoe, jr., of
Pennsylvania, president of Colum-
bian Institute, purchased it in 1870.
He and his heirs lived in the build
ing until it was disposed Of by the
latter in 1877 to Prof. Cleveland
Albee, who was practically the
founder of the United States Wealth

the time of his death, in 1916
In its life of lis years this house
has been the property of only three
families. 1t is now owned and occu-

significant because it shows that
the majority of the member unin-

1t has been usual for assets of Fed

north side of Pennsylvania avenue
and bounded by I, K, Twentieth and
Twenty-flrst streets, the site was
originally part of large farm known
as Widows Mite. 1t had been
patented to Anthony Holmead, an
Englishman. Before the cession to
the United States by the State of
Maryland of land for the site of the
Capitay City, the farm of Holmead
had been divided. The part which
included the site of the Arts Club
was owned by James Macubbin
Lingan. Lingan was an officer in
the Maryland line during the War
Of the American Revolution, a cap

friend of George Washington and
collector of port of Georgetown at
the outbreak of the War of 1912.

Building Owners and the Managers
Association, which co-operated in
forming the new organization, out
lined the benefits members would

that the only way building managers

their profession was to learn either
by their own experience or from the
experience of others and that the
purpose of this new organization was
to let all in the business profit from
each others experience.
Outlines Purposes.
He detailed the purpose Of the
organization as follows:

Clarence T. Rice, Kansas City,

dicates that new and old investors
with new money more than offset
the 1925 100000 of savers nest eggs
which was used up during the year,
and that the last six months of 1888
showed a notable decrease in re-
quests for Withdrawals.
There is always a direct rela-
tionship between economic condi-
tions, especially employment and
wage levels, and peoples calls for
their savings he said This is as
1t should be since one of the pri-
mary purposes of a savings and
loan account is to make a man
dependent upon himself When there
is some reverse in his economic for
tune. With the rapid rise in busi-
ness activity of the June to Janu-
ary period, people had less and
less need to use up money they had
saved.

was the increasing volume of home
