coaches. Duplicating the up
holstery and braid was, Of
course, relatively simple.
The coach was built between
1880 and 1870 for Col. Samuel
Powell, Mayor of Philadelphia,
and is believed to be the oldest
domestically made coach in
existence. After Col. Powel's
death, his widow used 1t for
nearly 20 years and, during
that time, had some structural
changes made in it. For one
thing, she had the drivers
seat, or coachman's box, as
it was called, lowered, prob
ably to lessen the danger Of
the coach tipping over, The
changes altered its appear
ance as a true 18th century
vehicle.
1T was like a 1880 auto
mobile being called a 1920
model" Mr.. Downing says.
The seat has been restored
to its original height and, In
the process, 1t could be seen
where the original iron work
was heated, bent or cut when
the changes were made.
The coach remained in the
Powell family for years, but
finally passed to a succession
Of owners and, with the
changes, the legend grew that
it was Washington's coach. 1t
eventually fell into circus
hands and was exhibited over
the country as Washington's
own. The Mount Vernon
Ladies Association obtained
it as such at the turn Of the
century. The error was soon
discovered, however. and the
coach has since been exhib-
tied simply as one in which
the First President probably
rode. And because OF Its
original elegance and the
close friendship between the
Washingtons and Powels, their
visits to one another and their
mutual interest In coaches,
the probability is regarded as
a certainty by Mount Vernon's
research associate and cura-
tor, Worth Bailey.
That probably Is as close as
Mount Vernon ever will come
to having a Washington car
riage. He owned numerous
ones during his life, but the
disposition of only three Is
known. One was given to a
relative shortly before the
generals death and all trace
of it was lost. After his death,
another was sold for charity

third was shot to pieces In the
