Historic Homes
Tour Planned
In Alexandria
st. PauPs Church
Benefit to Be Held
Saturday, May |

Old homes In Alexandria, some OF
them authentically historic, will be
opened for tour this spring under
the auspices of the Woman's Auxil-
iary of st. Pauls Episcopal Church
for the benefit of the auxiliary.
The idea of a tour of old homes
originated in Alexandria II years
ago, when the Woman's Auxiliary of
st. PauIs Church, seeking some
thing different in the line of bene-
fit, felt that there might be many
newcomers to the community who
would like to see the interiors of a
humber of the beautiful homes still
occupied by descendants of the
original owners as well as some of
the homes that had been restored
and occupied by newcomers. The
tour developed into an annual, but
was abandoned by the group after
several successful seasons because
numerous other groups adopted the
idea. After five years the auxiliary
again will conduct the tour, which
will be made Saturday, May l, from
10 o'clock in the morning until 6 in
the afternoon.
The boyhood home of one Of Vir-
ginia's great military heroes, Gen.
Robert Edward Lee, at GOT Oronoco
street, will again be on view, its
present occupants being the Lii
brarian of Congress and Mrs. Ar
chibald MacLeish.
Mrs. Laurance Thompson, presi-
dent of the auxiliary, and DR..
Thompson will open their home at
sos South Lee street as well as the
slave quarters of the old house,
which was built in 1870.
The residence of Miss Nancy Lee
Tackett at 2l1 South st. Asaph
street, which was built in 1900 by
a member of the Janney family,
wealthy Quakers, will be among
the historic homes open for the
tour. When the city was held by
Union forces during the War Be-
tween the States this house was oc-
cupied by Federal Judge Under
wood, who was instrumental in
making the plans for the formation
Of the State of West Virginia.
Judge and Mrs. Thurmond Arnold,
who have renovated the house at
120 South Lee street during the past
year and are now in occupancy,
will open it for the tour and other
homes included in the 10 which
will constitute the tour program
will be the house at 708 Wolfe street,
known as the Blue Door, and oc-
cupied by Miss Anne Lewis Jones,
and the house at 602 Cameron
street, purchased several years ago
by Mrs. Frances Parkinson Keyes.
The walled garden and home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Councillor at
113 South street will be among the
restored houses on the list, and also
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Dooman at 208 North Royal street,
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Maxwell
Hamilton at 215 Jefferson street
and the home of Mr.. and MIS-. M.
r. H. Garnett at 202 Duke street.
Luncheon will be served at the
Norton Memorial Hall, adjoining
st. Paul's Church. during the tour
