Although the tempo of visi.
tors, primarily reporters and
photographers, has stepped up
lately, the Misses Franks show
the house with seemingly bound
less energy and delight.
Perched on a wooded acre
high above the C & o Canal, the
house is 81 and a half feet long
and As wide. A towering pine,
hemlock and grandiflora mag
nolia crowd in close to the white
clapboard almost shielding it
from the street.
To the northeast in sharp con-
trast to its views of the wooded
Potomac banks, a vast asphalt
parking lot separates the house
from the rollercoaster of the
Glen Echo Amusement Park.
But the Franks sisters, like
Clara Barton, say they're not
disturbed by the giddy squeals
of the amusement riders.
When amusements first were
added to the extraordinarily a
cultural center-neighbOrs fear
ed their illustriOus n e / & h b o r
would move. But Clara Barton
is reported to have dismissed
the noise by saying 1t was quiet
err than cannon on the battle
field
The cultural center, anxious to
attract distinguished neighbors,
offered Clara Barton the site
adjacent to the park If she
would build there. She accepted
provided a trolley line was ex-
tended that far so she could
continue to ship her supplies.
This was done and she built
her house in 1892 from lumber
shipped down the canal to her
from Jamestown, Pa, where she
had aided flood victims.
DR.. Julian Hubbell, Clara
Barton's field doctor and close
associate designed the house for
her after the style of the Mis-
sissippi river boats he knew as
a child. Miss Barton had worked
in disaster areas along the river
banks and had a particular fond.
ness for the river boats herself.

Clara Barton's Friends Hope
To Save River Boat House

II remains pretty much as Il
was built. A long stretch from
bow to stern with rooms and
apartments In the fore and after
sections depending upon the
point of view. The center section,
encircled by a twO-stOry tier
Of rallied balconies is bridged
over on the top floor or deck
by a changing rOOm"-a sort of
pilot house with peaked canvas
ceiling.
From this vantage point visi-
tors, who may by this time feel
like passengers, can look down
on the dimly Lit salon, lined on
either side by cleaning Victori-
an side chairs, rockers and
sofas, the reds and greens of
their upholstery blending with
the oriental carpeting.
1t takes little stretch Of the
Imagination to envision the de-
light of a child growing up in
this house, playing the pilot of
river boat, seeing about the pas
sengers in the SO staterooms, or
perhaps the stowaways in any
of the 38 closets.
The closets are neatly camou-
flaged in the paneled walls of
the house and were designed to
stow Clara Barton's medical
supplies.
Clara Barton willed the house
to DR.. Hubbell who lived there
with his nieces, friends of the
Franks sisters in Iowa. One sis
ter, Mrs. Josephine Noyes, visit
ed the Hubbell nieces and later
came to Washington to work.
She eventually bought the
house from the Hubbells and
brought her sisters from Iowa
to live with her.
Although many Of the fine
Victorian pieces belong to the
Franks sisters, almost every
room contains something which
belonged to Clara Barton.
In the front hall for example
hangs the startlingly Iifelike
portrait of Clara BartOn's cat,
Tommy black and white ami
NAL posed on a piece Of red

The friends of Clara Barton
are trying to save her house
from the path of the bulldozer.
They want to keep it as a
''useful, living memorial to the
Civil War "Angle of the Battle
field the founder of the
American Red Cross.
But time is running out. Their
option to buy expires July l.
And unless they meet the pur.
chase price by then, the house
will be sold, RACED and leveled,
probably for a parking lot.
If that happens, the public
will lose a most intriguing 10Th
Century house-with the inter.
Tor design of a Mississippi river
boat.
And four of the finest friends
Clara Barton ever had will re-
turn. to their native Iowa sad
dened that the home they had
preserved with devoted care
should fall into rubble, instead
of friendly hands.
These friends" are four sis.
ters-the Misses Henrietta and
Frances Franks, Mrs. Sara
Rhodes and Mrs. Kathryn Bron-
son-who have lived in the
house since the early 1940s.
Although none of them ever
saw Clara Barton, they have
given the house in which she
spent her last years museum
like care preserving her
clothes, books, paintings and
furnishing just about as they
were.
And, too, the Franks sisters
have opened their house from
time to time for tourists and
school children who wanted to
see inside.
Now they plan to sell the
house and return to Iowa.

sell It," Miss Henrietta Franks
