AN ARC HITECTURAL
JEWEL is how the house is
generally described, but the
ALAS convention minutes indi-
cate there was some disagree
ment on this matter.
There were members, only
a few to be sure" said Mr..
Saylor, who seriously proposed
tearing down the Octagon and
putting in its place a modern
Office building"
Fortunately this point OF
view made little headway, and
most of the past so years an
nails record the institutes
terrific financial struggles and
OUTLAWS to preserve this ma
tional monument.
Concurrently. there was an
l8-year argument beginning in
1922 about building an addi-
ton to the original Octagon
property.
The main needs were an
exhibition hall, a library and
an assembly hall. writes Mr..
Saylor.
THE problem facing the
Institute, acting as It's own
architect, was in no way more
complex than an average client
brings TO a practitioner; given
a plot Of land this size, with
certain buildings thereon, what
are your needs and what
available means do you have
to satisfy these needs?
THE Institute could not
agree on an answer. ). :" Mr..
Saylor continued. For Is
years the architects debated
the two simple questions, or
rather the individual varia-
tons that such questions con-

once handsome drawing room
some Of these families were
conducting a grubby rag bust
ness.
But a group in the Wash
ington chapter Of ALA knew
Of the great potentialities Of
the Octagon and its important
history.
The ALAS first argument,
whether or not to purchase the
house, began in 1898 and final
ly was resolved in 1902, when
II was purchased from the
heirs Of the original builder
and owner, Col. John Tayloe.
Tayloe was a great friend Of
George Washington and one
Of the wealthiest men Of that
time.
The Octagon (Which is mis-
named as 1t only has six sides), ,
was designed by Dr.. William
Thornton, a brilliant physi-
clan who dabbled in astronomy,
painting, finance, languages
and architecture. DR.. Thorn
ton also designed the Capitol
building and beautiful Tudor
Place in Georgetown.
The house was completed in
1900 and by a great stroke OF
luck escaped damage in the
great fire during the War Of
1912 which destroyed much Of
the city. CThis was because
the French Minister was the
houseguest Of the Tayloes at
the time and the French flag
hung over the doorway The
burning OF the White House
found the President and Dolly
Madison without a residence,
so Col. Taylor offered them the
Octagon.
Now the upper circular room
which was President Madi-
sons study Is called the Treaty

preserved, the grand staircase
from the first floor to the attic
still dominates the entrance
hall, as 1t did in the old days.
The original front door, two
and a half inches thick. is
slight by curved to fit the semi
circle Of the front wall OF the
house. The same is true Of the
window sash. panes. and other
doors leading of from the cir
cular entrance hall.
In each room the intricate
mouldings are different and
are either the originals, or
when it was necessary to re-
move them for replastering.
they were reproduced to the
last detail. Most Of the floor
boards have survived. and in
the dining room each board
extends the full length Of the
room-26 feet.

THE GREATEST MIRACLE
OF all. apparently. was the per-
feet condition Of the intricate
cast-stone mantels when the
architects took over the house.
The Octagon had been used as
the Governments Hydro
graphic once. a girls school.
a rooming house for artists
and craftsmen and finally a
slum. With all these vicissi-
tudes there isn't even q nick
on the mantels today.
While the Ala has spent
some 100000 on the Octagon,
they still hope to improve the
furnishings as time goes on.
To date, they've been given
handsome late 18th Century
pieces for the dining room and
Treaty Room. They hope that
eventually similar gifts will be
forthcoming for the large
drawing room where many OF
their receptions are held.

MR.. SAYLOR SAYS this
1S-year problem was finally
solved by the appointment Of
three men as col,aporative
architects to do the Job.
"One of these three gave
four-fifths Of the funds re-
quired; the other two being
added to the team presufn-
ably as safeguards against the
benefactor's spending his own
money in his own way. The
building was built. but in the
process the benefactor archi-
tect died. Then the second Of
the three died. The third man
miraculously lived through
the experience, and still lives
Mr.. Saylor adds an amusing
footnote. to the effect that last
year when the Institute wanted
to expand its Office space, the
building committee merely
showed the 1856 convention a
black rectangle with overall
dimensions and the location on
the site. They said in effect,
Authorize us to spend $780,
600 Of your money for a build
ing Of which you are to see
and hear no details. We have
commissioned an architect.

writes Mr.. Saylor.
Despite the struggles one
can look at Octagon House
and It's additions today and
say II was we'll worth II.
Certainly no group was bet
ter able TO appreciate the archi-
tectural beauties Of this house
