Evening star., 1955-02-20
By John W. Stepp

A massive mural portrayine
George Washington. the Free
mason-rather than President or
general-will be dedicated Tues
day in the Masonic National
Memorial at Alexandria.
It is a brightly done 18-by-46-
foot conception of the Father OF
his Country laying the corner
stone of the United States Capt.
tol on September 18. 1893.
Painted by Allyn Cox, noted
New York artist, it is located
beneath the stained glass win
dows' of the south wall of Me-
mortal Hall. 1t was three years
In the making, and cost $4,000.
Soon after its unveiling Mr..
Cox will start another mural. on
the opposite wall, showing Wash
ington attending services in
Christ Church. Philadelphia.
1TdUItiUldl oCCdStUHs
Masonic leaders will be viewing
1t for the first time in conjunc-
ton with the 45th annual meet
ing of the George Washington
Masonic National Memorial As
sociation in the huge granite
temple on King street.
Washingtons birthday is the
traditional occasion for National
Masonry's annual meeting at the
memorial.
Local Masons. particularly
south Of the Potomac, feel
strongly about the mural dedi-
cation ceremonies since the first

Ernest F. Henry has been

Francis j. Kane, Trade Board

cies and business organizations
involved in plans being con-

the pedestal at Washington's
left. The gavel atop the stand
has marble head and wooden
handle. A District lodgef keeps
it under lock and key.
Ladies Were Present"
Researchers had little to go
on to determine female attend
ance at the ceremony. The only
helpful account merely stated
ladies were present" Artist
Cox took the liberty of installing
the Presidents wife and STEP
daughter in places of honor. and
arranged anonymous women for
decorative effect.
Washington-born Mr.. Schon-
dau has been a Mason since
1920. Before reaching his pres
ent post with the national Or
ganization he served as custodian
and superintendent. Thirty-three
years ago, when he was ap-
pointed to oversee the temple
construction job. he bore the
old English title of CLERK Of the
Work :"
Evening star., 1955-02-20

President Of the United States
was also first master Of the
Alexandria Masonic Lodge No.
%.
Marylanders also. are especial
ly interested. For when Presi-
dent Washington welded the
ceremonial trowel over the Cap
|itol cornerstone that September
day, he was serving in the Ca
pacity of Acting Grand Mas
ter, Protein, of the Grand Lodge
of Maryland"
In actual fact, President
Washington was not putting the
cornerstone into place at all.
His task was to mortar an en-
graved silver plate onto the top
of the block.
Block Now Buried.
The block now lies buried
somewhere beneath the main east
steps of the Capitol, which grew,
a bit topsy-like, around the
original building.
To obtain authentic detail for
the mural of the cornerstone
ceremony, Mr.. Cox and Masonic
historians spent a total of five
years in research.
One of the Masons. Frederick
F. Schondau, secretary-treasurer
of the association. gathered q
wealth of information. For Mr..
Schondau, 66, a one-time circula-
ton man with The Star. 1t was
a labor of love. He has lived
with--and practically in-the

memorial temple since ground
was broken for it in 1922.
He explained many of the in
cidental details. .s
For example. the sword-bear-
ing gentleman is the "tiler." He
is the traditional guardian of
the doors" for solemn Masonic
functions.
To the right Of the "tiler"
architect James Hoban holds a
blueprint of the original Capitol
Building.
Approaching President Wash
ington. who holds a silver trowel
for mortaring, is Thomas john
son. District Commissioner,
Governor of Maryland and JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court. He is presenting the en-
graved cornerstone plate to the
President.
President Washington is wear
ing the traditional Masonic
vestments-the neck pendant,
sash and apron-all of which,
incidentally. are on display in
the Memorial temple along with
