DRESIDENT WASHINGTON, putting
il down his quill probably reflected
carefully on those words. 1t was March
8. 1892, and he was writing from Phila-
delphia. then the Capital. to his friend,
David Stuart. concerning the proposed
house in which the future Presidents OF
the fedgling Nation were to work and
live.
It was built with Washington's ideas
of possible expansion in mind. and now,
after major face-lifting and remodeling,
is nearly ready once again for occupancy.
It is true that little more than the orig
inal walls remain. but in significance 1t
exceeds even Washingtons most fanciful
expectations
It has become far more than just the
Presidents House. It has become SYM
boil of democracy throughout the world.
It was in 1871 that Congress finally
settled on the District. then a heavily
wooded area marked by swamps and
meandering creeks. as the site OF the
Federal City. The next March. while the
outlines Of Pennsylvania avenue were
being hewn through the forest. architects
were invited to submit designs for the
Presidents House. A prize of $500 was
offered for the best plan.
