Tour Listed

The tour of Georgetown houses
under the auspices of St. Johns
Church in Georgetown will take
visitors through some of the most
historic sections of the old town
the afternoons of April Is and 26.
Built about 1896, ST. Johns is
the second oldest Episcopal church
in the District. 1t came into being
through the efforts of the Rev. Wal
ter D. Addison, who came to George
town to preach to Episcopal families
there before a church was organ
iZed.
The church was not completed
until 1903. Among the early sub
scribers were Thomas Jefferson and
Francis Scott Key. The new church
did not flourish, and for a while
there was no regular rector. Mr..
Addison, then old and feeble, con-
tinued to hold an occasional service
there until 1881 when the church
was finally abandoned.
For seven years the church was
closed and it fell into such diSrepair
that it became nesting place for
birds and bats and was known as
The Swallow Barn" At last a
sculptor rented it for his studio
and scandalized the former parish
toner's by filling it with his statues
of gods and goddesses. Finally st.
Johns was sold for taxes to Mr..
w. w. Corcoran who, few years
later, returned it to the original
owners.
The vestry was then reorganiZed:
a benefit fair was held in 1888 and
necessary repairs were made. Since
then there have been many i'm
provements and additions, and st.
Johns is now one of the leading
churches in Georgetown
Those who will open their homes
for this years tour for the benefit of
the church are Assistant Secretary
of State and Mrs. Dean G. Acheson,
at 2805 P street; Mr.. and Mrs. Theo-
dore N. Gill, jr., 1922 P street; Sen

for students of architecture and

ranges through the Colonial, Fed

runs the gamut from brick man.
sion to clapboard cottage.
Among the Federal houses is that
of Col. and Mrs. Pedro del Valle,
