MEMORIAL CONTINENTAL HALL 
 
 'Memorial Continental Hall, erected by the National Society, Daughters of 
 the American Revolution, in memory of the patriots, women as well as men, of 
 the American Revolution, at a cost of more than $500,000.00, is located on 17th 
 Street, one of the main entrances to the beautiful Government reservation, 
 Potomac Park, and faces the President's Park, lying between the White House 
 and the Washington Monument. On the same side of the street to the south is 
 the marble home of the Bureau of American Republics, and to the north is the 
 Corcoran Gallery of Art, also of marble. Vermont marble was used in the con- 
 struction of this home of the N. S., D. A. R., which in design and general appear- 
 ance resembles the handsomest classical style buildings of Revolutionary days. 
 Action was taken by the Memorial Continental Hall Committee on June 4, 1902, 
 in regard to the purchase of a site. The net expense of the ground, with its 210- 
 foot front, was $50,266.17. The selection by the Building Committee, on June 4, 
 1903, of Mr. Edward Pearce Casey, of New York City, to be the Architect was 
 unanimously approved by the Memorial Continental Hall Committee, and on 
 January 8, 1904, the Architect's plans and preliminary sketches were accepted 
 and the working plans were commenced the following day. The contracts for 
 "excavation and building foundation" were approved and signed March 18, 1904. 
 "The workmen in digging unearthed a portion of the floor of a house said to 
 have been the residence of James Madison. Several Spanish coins were also 
 found." The Tuesday afternoon, April 19, 1904, of the Thirteenth Continental 
 Congress, the cornerstone was laid with impressive ceremonies. By the following 
 April sufficient work had been accomplished on the central part of the building for 
 the Fourteenth Continental Congress to be held there. The building of the corner 
 pavillions and porticos was then undertaken, and on the Wednesday afternoon, 
 April 17, 1907, of the Sixteenth Continental Congress, the Memorial portico was 
 dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. By the Nineteenth Continental Congress, 
 April 18 to 23, 1910, much of the handsome mahogany furniture promised by 
 the States reserving memorial rooms had been installed and Memorial Continental 
 Hall had become the actual headquarters of the N. S., 1). A. R. The Flag House 
 Chapter of Philadelphia asked in 1905 for permission to give the flag first to be 
 unfurled over completed Memorial Continental Hall. 
 
 The idea of raising a fund to lie u^cd when the Mall was finished, in putting 
 the grounds in shape, originated with Mrs. Robert Iredel. Two Pennsylvania

 thusiasm. The south stair- 
 case is the gift of the Min- 
 nesota Chapters. The or- 
 namental tablet at the first 
 turn shows the coat-of- 
 arms of the State. The 
 cost of each staircase as a 
 memorial was $1,000.00, 
 and the ornamental tablets 
 cost $176.00 each.

 The bronze bas-relief near the south staircase is a replica of one made by 
 the well-known French sculptor, David d'Angers, and represents the most famous 
 Americans from the time of George Washington to the sculptor's own dav, and 
 
 13

 pied by the bust of General George Washington given by the D. A. R. of the 
 State of Washington; the one to the south of this (on General Washington's 
 right hand) is General George Clinton, to be given by the New York City 
 Chapter, of New York, and the one immediately to the north is General John 
 Stark, from the D. A. R. of New Hampshire. Over the three front entrance 
 doors John Hancock occupies the central niche, given by the John Hancock 
 Chapter, of Boston, and immediately to the north is John Adams, from the John 
 Adams Chapter, of Boston ; to the south is the bust of General Edward Bland, 
 given by the D. A. R. of Kansas. On the north side of the lobby Colonel Isaac 
 Shelby, given by the D. A. R. of Kentucky, is over the archway, and the bust of 
 Nathan Hale, for which Mrs. J. E. McWilliams is raising $500.00, which makes 
 each of these busts a memorial, is next (toward the east). On the south side of 
 the entrance hall Ethan Allen is over the archway, the gift of the Vermont Chap- 
 ters, and James Edward Oglethorpe, presented by Georgia Chapters, is next (to 
 the east). The bust of Washington was modeled from the one made from life 
 by the famous French sculptor, Houdon. Piccirilli, a member of the National 
 Academy, was the sculptor of Hancock, Adams, Shelby, and Ethan Allen. 
 Augustus Lukeman, a pupil of Daniel French, and also a member of the National 
 Academy, was the sculptor for Clinton, Stark, Hale, and Oglethorpe. Mr.

 The auditorium, with its three large galleries, has a seating capacity of about 
 two thousand. The chairs, covered with green leather and with mahogany 
 frames, are of a comfortable size. The walls, artistically festooned with "bas- 
 relief garlands of fruit and leaves, are of a cream tint. Artificial light is mainly 
 provided by four large electroliers suspended from a ceiling which is the full 
 height of the building. Another memorial paid for by the D. A. R. of Kansas is 
 one of these gold and crystal electroliers ' ($450). "The Tioughnioga Chapter,

 Cortland, N. Y., has also paid for one of them. The ground glass in the ceiling-, 
 which softly admits the daylight, is divided in twenty-live squares, ornamented by 
 white scroll work. A narrow opening, providing ventilation, entirely surrounds 
 these squares of glass. More light and ventilation are supplied by windows at 
 the back of the galleries, and by branch electroliers conveniently placed. 
 
 The large clock on the east gallery railing, with its marble face and gold 
 hands, is the gift of the Baltimore Chapter, of Maryland. In the Erame at the 
 top of this clock is the illuminated coat-of-arms of Maryland, and below the 
 hands, on the face, is an illuminated I). A. R. insignia.

The Betsey Ross flag which hangs suspended from the ceiling during the 
 week of the Congress, is the gift of the Flag House Chapter, of Philadelphia, Pa. 
 
 The large oil painting, "Washington on Dorchester Heights," by Darius 
 Cobb, was presented by the D. A. R. of Massachusetts in memory of Mary A. 
 Livermore, whose desire it had been that this historical painting be secured for 
 Memorial Continental Hall. "The picture was suggested to the artist on his read- 
 ing a letter from General Washington to Colonel Lee, telling him of the weight 
 of" responsibility that pressed upon him as he stood on Dorchester Heights just 
 before dawn, viewing the disastrous effects of the tempest on the British fleet 
 that was to have stormed the Heights the night before. Longfellow was most 
 enthusiastic in having Mr. Cobb's conception carried out. Wendell Phillips posed 
 for the figure of Washington, and Oliver Wendell Holmes loaned Washington's 
 original field glass to the artist. Admiral Preble supplied information regarding 
 the flag used at that time." The Mary A. Livermore Memorial Committee, of 
 which Mrs. Charles H. Bond, of Boston, was Chairman, raised the money to 
 purchase this painting. 
 
 The use of the auditorium has been granted for several notable international 
 conferences and conventions, being unusually well arranged for such gatherings. 
 
 The steps leading up to the center of the platform were presented by the 
 Chapters of Rhode Island.

 siding officer on that occasion, both for the use of the President General. This 
 table was given by the Continental Chapter and the chair by the Continental 
 Dames Chapter, both of the District of Columbia. In like design, as a companion 
 piece to the chair for the President General, a chair ($75) was presented by the 
 Colorado Chapter, of Denver, Colo., for the use of the Recording Secretarv Gen- 
 eral. The large arm chair for the use of honorary Presidents General was 
 given by the Katherine Livingston Chapter, of Jacksonville, Fla., and the hand- 
 some smaller table and accompanying chairs were presented by the Mississippi 
 Daughters ($175). A large table made of a- very handsome piece of koa wood

 Society at the Congress of 1909 by his daughter, Mary Lord Andrews. The 
 handsome brass lectern and Bible are the gifts of the Flintlock and Powder Horn 
 Chapters, of Pawtucket, R. I. The two solid silver flower vases ($250), for the 
 table of the President General, were given by the Council Bluffs Chapter, of Iowa, 
 and the solid silver pitcher and tray by the Captain Molly Pitcher Chapter, of 
 the District of Columbia. The two white marble pedestals with mosaic inlay were 
 presented for the platform by the Chapters of Nebraska. The handsome mahog- 
 any clock which at present stands on the platform, was given by the Berks 
 County Chapter, of Pennsylvania, for the entrance hall.

Committee Room. 
 
 The Daughters of the American Revolution of the State of New Jersey 
 supplied the hundreds of dollars needed to have the woodwork and furniture of 
 their memorial room, for which they had paid $1,000, fashioned from the historic 
 oak of the British frigate, Augusta, which sank during the battle of Red Bank, 
 October 23, 1777, on the property of the great-grandmother of Miss Ellen 
 Mecum, The idea of using in our Hall the timbers of the great ship which had 
 remained in the waters of the Delaware River so many years originated with 
 Miss Mecum, at that time State Regent, and she was enthusiastically assisted in 
 the carrying out of this idea by Miss Ellen Learning Matlock, who also made an 
 exhaustive study of the different styles of eighteenth century furniture. The 
 Jacobean was finally selected, on account of oak being the wood almost ex- 
 clusively used at that time, and a chair of this period, which is on exhibition near 
 York, England, was taken as a working model, and the result, as shown in the 
 completed furnishings for the room, proves the wisdom of this choice. The color 
 of the Augusta oak grew lighter toward the center of the timbers, and the dif- 
 ferent shades of silvery gray are most attractive. Many Chapters have contrib- 
 uted generously for the furniture, the following Chapters reporting individual 
 gifts: Nova Caesarea, the gift of the settle, $165; Camp Middlebrook, a chair, 
 $60, and pedestal, $5 ; Colonel Lowry and Princeton Chapters each gave a chair ; 
 General Frelinghuysen Chapter an arm-chair ; Boudinot, a handsome table ; 
 Broad Seal, illuminated parchment, $15, and Annis Stockton Chapter, plate glass 
 for the top of the lectern. Iron, as well as wood, from the Augusta, the former 
 hand-beaten and wrought, was used in making the candelabrum presented to 
 Miss Mecum by the Daughters of the American Revolution of the State, and in 
 turn presented by her to the Society for the New Jersey room. Four tall candle 
 stands of the wood were presented by Mrs. E. Gaylord Putnam, while Vice- 
 President General. Copies of the portraits of the five signers of the Declaration 
 of Independence for New Jersey, for the walls of the New Jersey room, was the 
 suggestion of Mrs. Putnam. The New Jersey Chapters gave the frames, which 
 are of the same design as the one on the original portrait of Richard Stockton 
 by Sully in the possession of Mrs. Alex. T. McGill, of Jersey City. The original 
 portrait of President Witherspoon hangs in Nassau Hall, Princeton University, 
 those of Abram Clark, John Hart and Francis Hopkinson hang in Independence 
 Flail, Philadelphia. The Bible presented to the room by the Regent of the Orange 
 Mountain Chapter, Mrs. Frances W. Turrell, "was made by the American Colony 
 in Jerusalem, bound with the wood of Olivet." The chandelier is an artistic 
 piece of iron work.
