River Channel Shifted
To Virginia Side

An undated item before the writer,
but one which Is at least 8S years
old, gives some information about
the old glasshouse, then a land
mark, as well as about other early
matters. It says:
"The old glasshouse was located
near the Potomac River, on square
No. 80, between Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets.
The window glass made there
was superior to most. The factory
stood near wharf, where, some rs
years ago, ships of considerable bur-
den were accustomed to anchor. The
channel has been filled by the de-
posit Of sediment brought down the
river, and new one has been formed
on the Virginia side. This part Of
the city was originally called HAM
burg, and afterward Funkstown,
from an old Dutchman who was
ambitious of having his name trans
mitted to posterity. He moved to
near Hagerstown. Md, and had his
ambition rewarded by giving his
name to the small village of Funks-
town. Near rock. in the river
west Of the factory. Gen. Braddock
is said to have landed with his
army, on his way to the West. It
was called by old citizens Braddock's
Rock, and the place near 1t Brad
docks Landing.
'Foggy Bottom, south OF r street,
was. before draining. noted for its
unhealthfulness. The sFoggy Bot
tom chills' were suficient to deter
most persons from settling In that
region. Duckers and fishermen oc-
cupied the tenements erected near
the river. Until q few years past,
probably not more than q score of
houses dotted the southern portion
Of this locality.
"Within recent years q number
Of fine houses occupy the former
sites Of the old frog ponds and
marshy places, which the boys were
wont to explore in pursuit Of frogs,
catfish and mud turtles. The inccs-
SAINT croakings Of the frogs at night
and its lonely appearance furnished
material for marvellous stories of
ghostly sights. The superstitious
surroundings helped an old fortune

Four Enormous Caskets
Found in Center of Room

Allied troops observed that q
masonry wall had been built into
the main corridor only a short dis
tance from the elevator shaft. The
mortar was fresh. The men made
an opening in the new wall and
tunneled their way through 5 feet
Of masonry to frame lattice door
which was padlocked inside. They
broke through the door and entered
a room filled with paintings, boxes,
tapestries and brilliant banners. The
contents Of the room were grouped
around four enormous caskets, one
of which was decorated with a
wreath and red silk ribbons bearing
the Nazi symbols and a name
Adolf Hitler.
Among objects which came to
light were the royal insignia Of the
King and Queen OF Prussia, the
royal orb and scepter, the crowns
of the King and Queen Of Prussia,
the royal insignia of the Hohen-
zollern family, the great seal Of
Prussia, the imperial and electoral
swords, and the helmet Of the Great
Elector.
The ether caskets were those OF
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
Frau Won Hindenburg, Frederick
william I of Prussia and his son
Frederick the Great.
Between coffins and among the
specially built racks were hung
225 painted and embroidered BAN
ners dating from early Prussian
wars to the First World War. The
depository was designed to per-
petuate the tradition Of German
military glory, as q shrine to the
vaunted virtues Of Prussianism.
Evacuation of the contents Of the
repository was begun almost i'm
mediately, so that the last item tc
be hoisted from the mine was the
1,200-pound casket of Frederick the
Great on the morning of May 8
l945. This was the day that the

Residents Had Difficulty
Getting Drinking Water

The greatest difficulty we expe-
rienced was getting water, as there
were few pumps and they ut great
distance; SO we had to 60 to a
spring near Hamburg Wharf, not far
from the old glasshouse (about half
a mile distance). and occasionally
to old Mr.. Wilson's, near and
Twenty-first streets.
aMr. Funk reserved q lot on which
to erect q German church at the
corner Of q and Twentieth streets.
Since then a church has been erected
there, Of which the Rev. Mr.. Finkel
is pastor. Funk's house stood near
the old glasshouse-I think between
Twenty-second and Twenty-third
streets. The bricks of which 1t was
built, 1t was said. were imported
from Holland. They were much
smaller than the bricks made in this
country, and very hard. I have

Running East and West
A map of Hamburg. in the Library
of Congress. shows five streets and
an alley running east and west:
Water, Front alley, Second, Third or
Raven, Fourth and Fifth. Streets
running north and south included
such names as High. Arch, Market,
Persemon (Persimmon), Walnut, Lo-
Gust, Mulberry and Rock streets.
Front alley was 80 feet wide and the
streets varied from so to 80 feet.
When the present site for the
Federal city had been determined,
what to do with Carrollsburg and
Hamburg was problem. President
Washington early realized the i'm
portance Of obliterating these towns
that might interfere with plans be-
ing drawn by Maj. L'Enfant.
Gen. Washingtons concern in the
town site Of Hamburg Is evidenced
by several letters. On February II,
1871, he addressed a letter from
Philadelphia to william Deakins,
jr, and Benjamin Stoddert. in which
he said:
"The Maryland Assembly has au-
thorized certain number Of acres
to be taken without the consent Of
the owners by making compensa-
ton as therein provided. This viii

lots OF Hamburg. However, by pur-
chasing up lots, or as many as we
can, we shall be free to take, on the
terms Of the act, so much of any
other lands In our way, and conse-
quently those whose proprietors re-
fuse all arrangement. will, there
fore, beg the favor of you to take
