when Congress met here in 1900 these
houses were rented for boarding house
purposes by a Mr.. Frost, who continued
to do so for some years afterward.
Undoubtedly, If the Frosts were not
the first tenants of these houses, they
were tenants at an early date, and
what particularly lends color to this con-
clusion Is the fact that John T. Frost
and 8. Birch endeavored, in 1914, to save
the archives of the House of Representa-
tives by storing them in "the house
commonly called General Washington" :"
1t would, indeed. seem quite logical that
Frost would have taken the records to his
own home for safekeeping. incidentally,
John T. Frost remained for many years
as q clerk In the offlce Of the House Of
Representatives, and his name appears
In the city directory at least until 1843,
when he was residing on the east side
of New Jersey avenue, between A and B
streets, now the site Of the House Once
Building.
In 1917 the ruins were sold by George
c. Washington, grandnephew of the
first President, as trustee, to David Eng
nsh and w. S. Nichols, and soon after
ward the former sold his interest to
Peter Morte, who used the same walls In
rebuilding the houses. In 1919 the tax
assessment was made in the name OF
Nichols alone, and the assessment for
1924 appears In the same name.
About this period Gen. Henry Dear
born made his home in this fashionable
boarding house. This distinguished
American had served as captain In the

In 1884 and again in 1889 this prop
erty was assessed in the name of Charles
Wilkes, at that time commander in the
United States Navy, who resided here,
according to the city directories, from
1S43 TO 1850.
Many will recall these buildings as the
ones incorporated into the Hillman
House, which, in 1878, was being con-
Quoted by N T. Judd. Later the Hillman
House became "the Kenmore" and 1t
was here that famous homicide oc-
Cured in which a Georgetown Univer-
sity law student was killed by a
woman who was reported to have made
her getaway down the fire escape. She
was tried and acquitted. Later 1t be-
came the Hotel Burton.
Mrs Southworth's home, known as
Prospect Cottage, and which stood for
many years on the heights Of George
town, was occupied by her as early as
1860. 1t is said to have been built for.
and occupied by, former French Min
tster.
