WASHINGTON, D. C. : ARLINGTON PUBLISHING CO CORCORAN BUILDING. 1886. CO Copyright, iSi>6, Hy ARLINGTON 1'UBLISHING CO. I-HINTKI> UY JUDl) & DKTWlilLER, WABIIINUTON, V. C. kK-^ PREFACE. In offering their new Guide to the public, the publishers desire to call especial attention to the following features : (r.) The Descriptions of all Points of Interest in the City and Vicinity are presented in terse, clear, and ac- curate form; they are arranged alphabetically and fully indexed, so as to afford easy reference. (2.) The Appendices contain Full Lists and Interesting Statistics concerning the National and Municipal Govern- ments, and the Various Local Organizations — Religious, Charitable, Educational, Mercantile, Social, etc. (3.) The Select classified Lists of Trades- and Profes- sions together with the Business Cards, at the end of the book, represent the Principal Firms of the city. Intro- duced in a novel and attractive manner, this Department will be found to be one of the most useful and interesting in the book. (4.) The Colored Map which accompanies the Guide contains an ingenious Tape Attachment by which even a stranger can locate, instantly, all points of interest and the leading business houses mentioned in the Guide. This is by far the best patent map ever produced, and, to' every resident of Washington, is alone worth many times the price of the Guide. (3) STANDARD GUIDE OF WASHINGTON. As may be scon from inspection, the Guide and Map serve as a Pocket Directory, which will prove as indis- pensable to visitors and in the homes of citizens as the Large Directory is to Merchants. Having spared neither time nor expense to make their publication worthy of the title which it bears — " Standard Guide," of the National Capital — the publishers are justified in believing that the work will be cordially received and merit a wide sale at the hands of the public.

Places in this guide are alphabetically arranged with figures attached, one in the column for margin, the other in the column for tape. To find, for instance, the loca- tion of Lincoln Park, margin 51, tape 30, place the tape on the corresponding marginal number on the map, and read the other number corresponding on the tape, and Lincoln Park will be found on the map and under the number of the tape. Or to find Water street, 19-56, as before, place the tape on the marginal nimiber designated, and under the corresponding number on the tape is the name of the street printed on the map, the location of which is desired. The tape is divided into numbered sections, each of which scales 880 feet ; also divided into miles and fractions thereof. To find the distance from one point to another place the tape conveniently at either point, and lay it along the route desired to be measured, turn it in corners if necessary, and when the other point is reached read off the number of sections and compute them, 5,280 feet to the mile, or read off the corresponding mile measure. For instance, the distance is wanted from the Schuetzen Park, 20-36, to the President's Mansion, 46-46, along Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, place the divided end of the tape on Seventh street on the map and at the Schuetzen Park until it reaches the corner of Pennsylvania avenue, there turn it and run it along said avenue until you get to the President's Mansion, there read off the number of sections, and the distance is thus in eitlier case found to be four miles. INSTRUCTIONS. The city is divided in four quarters — east and west by the line of North and South Capitol streets extended, and north and south by the line of East Capitol street extended, these lines crossing in the center of the Capitol building, which is plainly illustrated by the coloring of the map, and hence the appellation of northwest, southeast, &c., to streets, thereby designating the particular quarter in which the street is located. All streets running north and south are called by num- bers ; east or west from North and South Capitol streets. All streets running east and west are called by letters of the alphabet in similar manner counted from the line of the East Capitol street extended. The decimal system of house numbering is used, allow- ing one hundred numbers for each square. Avenues named after States in the Union run diagonally from different centers, generally converging towards the Capitol Building or the President's Mansion.

The land for the proposed District of ten miles square was ceded to the government by the States of Mary- land and Virginia. The exact site for the Capital was decided on by George Washington, with the aid of three Commissioners. The name of it was chosen by the latter, and the plat of the city was made by Major L' Enfant, a French engineer. The government made very advanta- geous terms with the farmers who owned the land where the city now stands. Congress, which had meantime been sitting at Philadelphia, removed to its new home in 1800. The growth of the city was at first very slow. The government was by a Mayor, Aldermen, and Councilmen. Up to the outbreak of the civil war the Capital seemed to be a failure. It was unattractive in appearance and the citizens were devoid of enterprise. Congress had long ceased to appropriate money for its improvement. There was talk of removing the Capital farther west — to the centre of the continent — but the war revived its waning fortunes. There was a sudden increase of activity and a vast influx of men and money. During these momentous years the population of the capital averaged a quarter of a million of inhabitants. Afterwards, however, it was threatened with the same old stagnation. The old local government made an effort to inaugurate a comprehensive system of improvements, but were found to be incompetent. In 187 1 Congress, by the advice of prominent citizens, devised a new form of gov- ernment, consisting of a Governor, Legislative Assembly, and Board of Public Works. The latter body at once undertook the thorough recon- struction and renovation of the city upon a grand scale. They undoubtedly laid the foundation for its future un- (15) 16 STANDARD GUIDE OP WASHINGTON. l)rccedented growth and present advantages of Washington as a residence city, though at the same time they recklessly plunged the city into a huge debt, of more than $20,000,000 which is heavier than it can bear without the aid of Con- gress. There is the more justice in Congress paying this debt, or a large portion of it, as the obligations were in- curred mainly because of its presence and through officers of its appointment. In 1S74, owing to the high-handed methods of the pre- vailing local administration, called, from its leading spirit and highest officer, "The Shepherd Regime," Con- gress decided to abolish the whole system of local suffrage, and since then the District of Columbia has been governed by a board of three Commissioners appointed by the Presi- dent and confirmed by the Senate of the United States. Tlie people have no votes whatsoever, not even in Presi- dential elections. This is certainly an anomalous state of affairs to find at the capital of the leading Republic of the world. The system undoubtedly has some advantages, and Congress now pays half of the taxes for the city and District; but it is recalled that the measure was originally, a compromise, devised when Congress was greatly puzzled and embarrassed over the large deficits and great confiision in the municipal finances ; and, judging from this fact and the complaints which from time to time arise from citizens at being taxed for expenditures which they have no share in making, it is doubtful if the present form of government in vogue here will continue without being changed or es- sentially modified. Tlie population of Washington is about two hundred thousand inhabitants, nearly one-third of whom are colored persons. During the past decade it has grown faster than any other city in the United States. In general, its mag- nificent street area is well paved ; its sewerage system is almost perfect and its water sujjply is one of the best in the world. PLACES OF INTEREST. PLACES OF INTEREST. Note. — The places are arranged alphabetically for ready reference. The letters and numerals following the titles refer to the Margin (M.) and Tape (T.) on the Map. (See instructions on preceding pages.) AGRICULTURAL DEP'T. M. 56. T. 44. The Department of Agriculture is located about midway between the Smithsonian Institution and the Washington Monument. It was created by Congress in 1862, for the purpose of promoting agricultural knowledge and distribut- ing seeds among the people. Over a million packages are sent out annually. The main building is devoted to offices. An Herbarium and Taxidermist's Work-shops occupy the second floor. The Museumi of Agriculture and Industrial Exposition will be found in the frame annex. The Conservatory is west of the main building. It contains tropical plants and fruits and a grapery in the south wing. The grounds surrounding the Department are beautifully laid out in terraces, flower-beds, and plant-houses. The Museum and Conservatories are open till 4 p. m., Saturdays till 3 p. m. {See List of Illustrations.) ALEXANDRIA. On the right bank of the Potomac, about seven miles below Washington ; is reached by railroad from the Balti- more and Potomac depot and by ferry-boats which run every hour in the day; horse-cars on 7th street connect with the ferry. Alexandria was for many years included in the District of Columbia, but has since been ceded back again by the United States to the State of Virginia. It is now devoid of the commercial activity which once charac- terized it. (19) 20 STANDARD QUIDE OF WASHINGTON. Christ Church, in which Washington worshiped, is an old and quaint structure standing near the centre of the town. ANALOSTAN ISLAND. M. 46. T. 56. Opposite Cicorgctown ; about 70 acres, not under culti- vation; a resort for pleasure excursions. AQUEDUCT. M. 5. T. 57. The aqueduct which supplies the city with water is led to its destination bya series of tunnels and magnificent bridges, the largest of which, called the Cabin-John Bridge, is considered one of the most successful engineering feats in the world. The material is granite blocks, formed into a single arch, with a span of 220 feet (making it the largest stone bridge in the world); cost $237,000; first projected in 1853; distance from the city, about 12 miles. ARLINGTON. M. 82. T. 55. On the right bank of the Potomac, about four miles from the Cai)itol stands the fine mansion which was at one time the home of General Robert E. Lee. It was purchased by the United States Government in 1864. The drive to it, through Georgetown, is a pleasant one. THE NATIONAL CEMETERY embraces about two hundred acres of the old Custis estate on Arlington Heights. The grounds were first for- mally opened for a soldiers' cemetery by the Government in 1867. 16,000 soldiers are buried here, both Union and Confederate. A portion of the cemetery is reserved for colored troops. Near Arlington House is a granite sarcophagus erected over the bones of 2,111 unknown soldiers, who perished at lUill Run and on other battle fields and in hospitals. JJy this tomb is a great amphi- PLACES OF INTEREST. 21 theater, capable of accommodating the large audience at the memorial exercises which are held here annually in honor of the heroes of the war. {See List of Illustrations?) ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM. M. 46. T. 42. Stands on loth street west, midway between E and F streets, north. The Museum on the third floor of the building is very complete. It contains (i) a surgical sec- tion (illustrating injuries received from missiles in war, and their treatment) ; (2) medical section (illustrating camp diseases) ; (3) microscopical section (illustrating diseased tissues and organs) ; (4) anatomical section (illustrating human anatomy); (5) section of comparative anatomy (illustrating skeletons of American mammals, birds, and fishes) ; (6) miscellaneous section (illustrating hospital and barracks life.) On the first, second, and third floors are offices of the Surgeon-General and subordinates and the hospital records of the Civil War and those received from pres- ent posts of the regular army. A laboratory is con- nected with the establishment. The building has a peculiar interest from the fact that it was the scene of President Lincoln's assassination by Wilkes Booth, April 14th, 1865. It was then Ford's Theater. After the tragedy it was closed by the Govern- ment, and in 1866 devoted to the purpose for which' it is now used. Lincoln died in a house opposite the Museum. The hours for visitors are from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. The new building being erected by the Government in the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution will be ready for occupancy at an early date and will be admirably ar- ranged to contain the collections and library described above. {See List of Illustrations?) ARSENAL: U. S. BARRACKS. M. 71. T. 35. These grounds are located at the foot of 4^ street S.W., and may be reached by horse-cars. There are quarters for 22 STANDAUl) OUIDE OF WA8HINGTON. five batteries. The garrison drills daily ; the store-houses contain ammunition and arms. Specimens of guns and mortars now in service may be seen ; also some of those captured in various wars. The hours for visitors are from sunrise to sunset. BOTANICAL GARDEN. M. 52. T. 38. The Government Botanical Gardens are bounded by ist and 3d streets west and Pennsylvania and Maryland ave- nues. The main entrance is opposite the center of the west side of the Capitol grounds. The gardens are open to visitors from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. Carriages are not per- mitted to enter the grounds. The collection of shrubs and flowers contain specimens from many climes. The Conservatory is filled with varieties of palms and other tropical plants, including trees from Japan, China, and Kgypt. The smaller conservatories are devoted to rare flowers and vines, the ore bids being especially com- l)lete and beautiful. North of the Conservatory is the Bartholdi fountain, from the Centennial Exposition, supi)lied from the atpie- duct, and throwing a stream of water over sixty feet. It can be illuminated by electricity, and is used at its full capacity on national holidays. (^See List of Illustrations.^ The object of Congress in keeping the garden is mainly the distribution of plants and seeds. Each member of Congress has at his disposal a specified number of them. The collection was first begun over forty years ago. BUREAU OF EDUCATION. M. 44. T. 41. The building rented for this bureau stands on the corner of G and 8th streets N. W., opposite the Patent Office. The several floors are occupied by offices, a library, and a room for exhibiting educational apparatus. Visitors are received at the usual hours. PLACES OF INTEREST. 23 BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PR'NT'G. M. 58. T. 44. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing stands on the corner of B and 14th streets S. W. It is open to visitors from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. on Saturdays only. Here a very interesting view may be had of every detail in the pro- cess of engraving and printing Government bonds, notes, and stamps. {See List of Illustrations.) CAPITOL. M. 52. T. 36. The Capitol of the United States is situated on Capitol Hill, about the center of the city of Washington. It fronts east.

This structure may be most conveniently approached from Pennsylvania avenue where it turns at the Treasury, thence by 15th or 17th streets. It is also convenient of access from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The height of the obelisk from the foundation is 555 feet. This makes it the highest work of human hands in the world. Its weight is over 80,000 tons; the base is 55 feet square ; the walls are 15 feet thick ; the material is Maryland marble ; foundation Gneiss rock and Portland cement. The interior of the shaft is hollow, and is fur- nished with an elevator (not now running) and an iron staircase of 900 steps. The view from the windows at the top of this flight is extensive, both of the city and sur- rounding country. Tablets adorn the lower portion of the interior of the monument, and it is intended that sim- ilar contributions in marble and bronze to the memory of Washington from States, Territories, foreign nations, re- ligious societies, charitable organizations, and similar in- stitutions shall beautify the remaining space. The grounds at the base will also probably be elaborately improved, eventually, with tiling, pathways, etc. The monument has already cost more than ^1,187,000. Three hundred thousand dollars of this was contributed by the society which was incorporated to build the monument and the remainder by the United States Government. The project of building this memorial was actively be- gun in 1833 by citizens of the city of Washington, who asked the general public to contribute, and with ^87,000 in hand laid the corner-stone of the edifice July 4th, 1848. Work on the shaft ceased in 1855 and was not resumed till 1880. In 1876 Congress appointed a committee to complete the 52 HTAN1)AK1> CiL'lDi; OF WASlllNirrON. work and made generous appropriations for this purpose ; but delay was caused by tlie necessary precaution of strength- ening the old foundations. The dedication of the com- pleted monument occurred on Saturday, February 21st, 18S5, with appropriate ceremonies. {See List of lllustta- tiotis. ) WASHINGTON STATUE, M. 35. T. 51.

This is an invention constructed on the principle of the Swedish Movements, to Impkovk the Muscles by THE PuLLiNfj OF WEKiiiTS. Any man, woman or child may bring their Muscles into active use. The Handles of the Gymnasium are six on each side, so arranged that a person can pull the weiglits in any direction or position, standing, sitting or laying on the lounge which is attached to the apparatus. Dkar Sir: Philadelphia, May 11, 1885. Your Home Gymnasium Apparati's combines simplicity with thorough effectiveness, for the development and triiining of the muscular svstcin, and with all has the merit of cheapness. Yours trulv, D. HAYES AGNEW, M. D., 1611 Chestnut Street. THE SWEDISH HEALTH-INSTITUTE. From a modest introduction in this city, a few years ago, of this important method of restoring health, it has merited popularity to the extent of necessitating accommodation at 903 16th street N. W., in well furnished and equipped par- lors on two different floors. The treatment is administered between 8 a. m. and 8 p. m., by Hartvig Nissen, the Proprietor and Director, with an efficient corps of as- sistants. He also treats patients at their homes, if desired. The method of this system of dealing with disorders to which mankind is subjected, is not generally known al- though of ancient origin — hence it is considered of mutual benefit to offer a short description of its process. It has existed in all ages because it is based on mechanical and anatomical principles, and produces salutary effects when other remedies are not applicable. The name of Swedish Health Institute is derived from what is known. as the Swedish Movement Cure, combined with Massage. As Linnaeus systematized botany, Ber- zelius chemistry, so did another Swedish professor, Pehr Henrik Ling, in 1813, establish an everlasting repution by effecting astonishing cures through manipulation of the human body without employment of medicine. He organized a Central Institute, now supported by the Swedish Government in Stockholm, from which graduates have established others in almost every country in the civilized world. The system of the Swedish Movement Cure deals mainly with the circulation of the blood— a part of physiology not much known until about the middle of the seven- teenth century. Visitors are always welcome to inspect the institute and examine the mode of treatment. 141 142 STANDARD GUIDE OP WASHINGTON.

One of the largest and perhaps the most complete establishment of its kind in this city is the Dry Goods, Millinery, and Notions Stores of Mr. Charles Baum, located on Seventh, Eighth, and D streets northwest. This gentleman's career as a merchant of Washington has been most eventful as well as exceptionally successful. He came here at the close of the civil war, aspiring to establish a first-class business, though then possessing literally but one penny of capital. Pluck, perseverance, and business capacity did the rest. From a small rented room Mr. Baum's business has steadily increased until it now occupies the commodious stores which are so well known to and appreciated by the local public. A specialty of his has been to procure his stock for the various seasons with the energy displayed by the leading merchants of the East, and to conduct the sales at the lowest rates. The ladies appreciate how complete and how well furnished with the latest novelties is the millinery and notion department of this enterprising house. laO STANnARD f;riI)K OF WASIIINiiTON. D. J.

The Ebbitt House bears the name of a New York gentle- man. In 1865 it was purchased by the present proprietor, C. C. Willard, Esq., who had been previously identified with successful management of the famous Hygiea Hotel, at Fortress Monroe. Mr. Willard at once began the reconstruction and re- furnishing of his new property with characteristic energy. The ground plans were enlarged and the building carried up to seven stories in height. Neither pains nor expense were spared to make the structure perfectly adapted to the purpose for which it was intended. No hotels in Washing- ton (and few in the world) are now better equipped than is the Ebbitt with the essentials for the comfort and safety of guests. A firm spiral stair-case on the outside of the build- ing — the only one of its kind in the city of Washington — renders the establishment practically fire-proof. Many illustrations might be given to the liberality and executive ability which Mr. Willard bestows, constantly, to maintain the high reputation of his house. His only diversion seems to be to buy and improve property in the neighborhood of the Ebbitt. The hotel is pleasantly located, on F Street, one block from the United States Treasury. It can accommodate over five hundred guests. The dining-room is attractive and the table generous. While by all classes of the best visitors and residents, this elegant hotel has been long and increasingly patronized, with army and navy people and in diplomatic circles, it has always been especially popular. 212 STANDARD GUIDE OF WASHINGTON.

It is a common remark of visitors that in no city in the United. States is there such a large number of beautiful residences. Of the architects who have beautified the Capitol with the most artistic and commodious dwellings, none have achieved a more enviable reputation for thorough workman- ship and symmetry of design than Mr. Harvey L. Page, lately of the firm of Gray & Page, a sample of whose art — a perfect gem in its way — may be seen above, Mr. Page is located in a very pretty and convenient suite of rooms, at 1515 H Street N, W., where visitors will always be welcon^e and certain to receive every courtesy, whether intending to engage Mr. Page's professional services, or desiring merely to examine his collection of plans and drawings. • 214 STANDAICn (iUll)K OF WASHINGTON.

AVashington is excellently supplied with milk and butter through several large Alderney Dairies, managed by Mr. Frank K. Ward. The farms are situated in Maryland and Virginia and are conducted in accordance with the most approved principles of scientific farming, to secure richness and purity in the dairy products. Public inspection of the thorough and successful system on which the farms are managed is at all times invited, and will repay any one with a taste for the charms of farm life. At present more than fifty farms contribute their daily quota of milk, butter, and cream to Mr. Ward's immense establishments ; and though the quantity is so great, the . quality is never allowed to deteriorate. Mr. Ward has a standing offer of a liberal reward for any persons detecting milk in his cans which is in the slightest degree impure. In these days of inferior cattle, fed with refuse food, this fact is especially worthy of commendation. F. K. Ward is, undoubtedly, the most enterprising gen- tlemen in the local Dairy business. His present establish- ment is the ''beau ideal" of his hopes and resolutions. Sketches of him have so frequently been published, that it is not worth while to reprint one here. Without advertise- ment, F. K. Ward's name will always be among the leading business men of Washington, (10) 218 STANDARD GUIDE OF WASHINGTON.
