MODERNITY has begun to
move into G. place.
At the end, near Ninth
street, on the south side, is a
parking lot, and across from
that a modern Office building
has pushed its way almost a
fourth of the way into the
property lining the north side.
At the other end, near
Tenth street, another Office
building of recent vintage
stands, and next to that is a
gaping hole where two of the
houses have been torn down.
On their site is another park
ing lot.
There once were hitching
posts in front of some of the
homes. Now, at the end of the
street, just around the corner
from Tenth street, there are
three recently installed park
ing meters.
After World War II, an at
tempt was made to turn G
place into a sort of Green
wich Village" An art gallery
opened there, and stayed for
a while. But G place resisted,
and retained its rooming
houses.

The
Rambler
A Stroll Along
Historic 6 Place
By JACK JONAS

Historic g place NV. is still
doing the same old business at
the same old stand-letting
rooms.
The solid houses, built more
than 80 years ago, have been
in the rooming business, of
and on, almost since Joshua
Francis Fisher laid out his lane
through Mausoleum Square.
G place is one of Washing
tons many short streets. 1t
runs one block, from Ninth to
Tenth streets between G and
H streets.
The houses bear the marks
of latter 10Th Century archi-
lecture, with ornate iron grill
work in the ratings leading
up the steps to the door
stoops. They are of brick and
stone, with massive oak doors
set in arched frames.
The front yards are smaller
than today's small kitchens,
but most of them have rose
bushes, newly pruned. In one
of the yards" is a brave at
tempt at front garden, with
plant boxes, a rose bush and
a green lawn chair squeezed
in behind the black iron rail-
ing.
G place came into existence
80 years ago today, when
Mr.. Fisher subdivided his
newly acquired holdings in
what had been known as
Mausoleum Square.
That name came into being
because it once was the site
of the Van Ness Mausoleum,
part of a cemetery trans
ferred to Rock Greek Gene
terry.

THE MAUSOLEUM was built
for John P. Van Ness, who had
married one of the BurneS
girls, of the David Burnes
family. Mr.. Burnes - once
termed by George Washington
the obstinate Davy Burnes"
because of his reluctance to
sell his land to the Govern
ment - owned a huge farm
which covered what is now
most of downtown Washing
ton.
Fishers original name for
G place, when he cut it
through his property the year
after the Civil War ended, was
Grant place.
For a year, it was no more
than an alley. Then, in July,
1867, the washington Council
authorized the mayor to grade
the alley, pave it, and put in
curbs and sidewalks-Speci-
fed at eight feet wide.
After that the builders
moved in. BY 1873, it had
been solidly filled with the
huge houses, built in rows on
each side Of the street.
The city changed the name
to G place May Is, 1882, but
there still is evidence of the
old name in the Grant House
at No. 931.
Before World War II, the
old Rialto Theater stood fac
ing the end of G place.
