city Lafayette Square was a parade
ground, and here the militia musters
were held, and as early as 1895, the
Washington Artillery Company pa
raded on this ground. and when
Washington passed through the city
on his way to Mount Vernon. in 1877,
when retiring from the presidency,
a salute Of Is guns was fired by this
company on these grounds. And as
stated before, it was then an open
field.
Here also, in this square, on the
Pennsylvania avenue side, was the
first market house in the city, but
which was removed about 1901 to the
site of the old Center Market, which
stood for many years and where Is
now the National Archives Building.

Prior to the placing Of a wooden
fence around this reservation in the

1t is also related that during the
administration Of President Tyler
(l841-1S45), the jingling and music
of cowbells was often heard in the

The original landscaping Of this,
and some of the other local Federal
parks, is credited to the genius Of
Andrew Jackson Downing, who
came here for that purpose in 1851,
and, as one writer has said, ITO him
is due the present brilliancy and
beauty of the Lafayette Square"
Unfortunately, Downing's death
was sudden and tragic. His death
occurred July %, 1852. 1t was in
