Clark, President of \nthe Society, Mr. Hood said : \n\nMr. President, you have asked me to write some- \nthing more about David Burnes. After your admir- \nal)le paper on "General John Peter J^anNess, a Mayor \nof Washington, his wife Marcia, and her father \nPai\'id Burnes." presented to us in November last, T \nmust regard your request as a high compHment. \nThere is so Httle of interest or vahie to l)e added to \nwhat you have already told that I shall confine my \nbrief remarks to the much talked of "cottage" and \nto what became of it. \n\n\n\n\nw \n\n\n\nHEN THR Congress of the United States \nin 1700, after long and weary public \ndebate and much private negotiation, deter- \nmined that the future Fetleral City should be built \non the Potomac River, David Burnes was the owner \nof a productive farm on the site selected for the new \nCapital of the United States. His land holdings ex- \ntended from a i)oint on or near the river front not \nfar from what is now the foot of New York Avenue, \nnortheasterly almost along the line of that avenue \nthrough the site of the White House to another point \na little beyond and south of the present Public Library. \nThence his line ran down Sixth Street almost to \nPennsylvania Avenue, then by irregular lines to the \nmiddle of the Botanical Gardens, and then by other \nirregular lines back to the river. His was by much \nthe largest farm within the limits of the present City \nof Washington. It included the land whereon is now \nthe Pan-American Building, Continental Hall, the \nCorcoran Art Gallery, the greater part of the \\\\\'hite \nHouse grounds, the Treasury Department, the Hotel \nWashington, The New Willard, the Municipal Build- \ning, the Raleigh, St. Patrick\'s Church, the Washing- \nton Loan and Trust Company, the Patent Office, the \nold Post Office Department, the Bank of Washington, \nthe Center Market and the entire Smithsonian and \nMonument grounds. Some farm. \n\n\n\nTHE COTTAGE OF DAVID BURNES \n\nMr. Biirnes was of Scotch descent and understood \nthe ways of the world. Before the acquisition of his \nfarm by the United States its owner Hved in a modest \ncottage on its extreme western edge whereon is now \nthe Pan-American Building. The cottage was of \nframe on a brick foundation, about forty feet front \nby twenty feet in depth, one and one-half stories in \nheight, with living-room, dining-room and a small \nbedroom on the first floor; two bedrooms with dormer \nwindows on the second floor, and a spacious cellar \nunder the entire house, with supporting wooden posts. \nThe cellar was of unusual size and depth, which is to \nbe noted because the land at that point lies low and \nin those days, and for many years after, an extra- \nordinary rise of the river would flood any cellar in \nthe neighborhood. Don\'t forget the cellar. The \nkitchen, according to the custom of the time, was \nprobably a separate building nearby, which has long \nsince disappeared. \n\nThere is every reason to believe that the house was \nbuilt before the Revolutionary War; whether by David \nor Ijy one of his ancestors I have not ascertained, \nl)ut here he lived and cultivated his broad acres until \nthey became a part of the future National Capital. \nOn the laying out of the city streets Mr. Burnes ex- \npressly stipulated that his home should not be dis- \nturbed and this agreement was faithfully kept. \n\nThe building faced south by a few degrees east, \na short distance east and south of the center of the \nsquare, which was afterwards officially designated on \nthe city plats as square "south of square one hundred \nand seventy-three," containing about six acres. Here \nhis son John and his daughter Marcia were born, the \n\n\n\n8 \n\n\n\nAND ITS DINING-ROOM MANTEL \n\nlatter May 9, 1782, and here was she reared until about \ntwelve or thirteen years of age. She was then placed \nin a school in Baltimore and provided with a home \nin the refined and dignified household of the Hon. \nLuther Martin, of that city, one of Maryland\'s great- \nest statesmen. After an absence of about five seasons \nshe returned to her father\'s cottage. \n\nDavid Burnes died in his home May 7, 1799. \nMarcia continued to live there until her marriage on \nher twentieth birthday. May 9, 1802, to the Hon. John \nPeter VanNess, a Member of Congress from the City \nof New York. \n\nThis : \n\n(From the Washington Evening Star, Se])teml)er 8, \n\n1918, by J. Harry Shannon, writing under the \n\npen-name "The Rambler.") \n\n" *The Rambler\' believes that the marriage of Marcia \nTUirncs was solemnized in the small and humble cottage \nwhich had been her birthplace and her home, and \nwhich stood a ruin until a few years ago in the grounds \noccupied by the Pan-American Building. Marcia\'s \naffection for that humble home is shown by the fact \nthat when John P. VanNess, her husband, decided to \nbuild the finest house in the District of Columbia, that \nhouse was built in the grounds around the cottage \nand within a few yards of it. The stately mansion \nand the small cottage stood almost side by side for \nclose upon one hundred y^ars." \n\nIn Jonathan Elliot\'s book entitled the "Ten Miles \nSquare," ])ublished in 1830. is a glowing description \nof the completed mansion which (says he) : "standing \nin the center of the square, built in a style of the \n\n\n\nTHE COTTAGE OF DAVID BURNES \n\nfinest architecture, near the President\'s house, is prob- \nably not excelled by any private building in the coun- \ntry. The grounds, in addition to their lofty, dignified, \npaternal trees, are abundantly supplied with the best \nnative and foreign fruits, including figs and grapes, \nand adorned with a great variety of ornamental shrubs \nand plants, hedges, gravel walks, vines and bowers. \nThe solidity, elegance and convenience, throughout \nthe whole of the buildings and other improvements of \nthis spot, combined with the natural beauty of loca- \ntion, justly excite great interest and admiration. The \nentrance to this walled-square is through an iron gate \nbetween two lodges at the northeast angle fronting on \nSeventeenth Street and the President\'s Square. \nThence there is a winding carriage-wa}\' skirted by \nornamental trees, shrubbery and flowers, ascending \nan artificial mound at the north front of the house, and \npassing under an elegant, projecting stone portico at \nthe door. This portico is the first of the kind, if not \nthe only one, excepting that recently erected at the \nPresident\'s House, in the United States." \n\nGeneral VanNess, as may be supposed, entertained \nlavishly in his wonderful home and all the great people \nof the day were his guests. But Marcia\'s heart was \nnot in the new magnificence ; rather was it in the \nold home, in which it is said she fitted a room for re- \ntirement and meditation. I do not here go into an \n\n\n\nb^ \n\n\n\nly \n\n\n\ndetails of her subsequent sorrows or her well-known \ncharities. They have been written. She died Sep- \ntember 9, 1832, and was followed by her husband \nMarch 7, 184^/ \n\nAfter the death of General VanNess the property \npassed into the hands of strangers, who, after a pre- \n\n\n\n10 \n\n\n\nTHE COTTAGE OF DAVID BURNES \nPHOTOGRAPH E,D BY T. A. MULLET \n\n\n\nAND ITS DINING-ROOM MANTEL \n\ntence of restoration and preservation, entirely ne- \nglected it. The condition of both cottage and mansion \nbecame deplorable. Moss in thick masses grew on the \nroof of the cottage, and in evidence of the disgrace \ninto which it fell a much-used target for pistol prac- \ntice ornamented its front door. The once beautiful \nmansion passed into grievous decay; its windows and \ndoors were battered and broken ; its walls were de- \nfaced ; its Italian marbles were cracked and thrown \nabout; its stairways were mutilated; thieves broke in \nand devastated as they cliose : it became the abode \nof bats. \n\n\n\n\\3 \n\n\n\nTHE COTTAGE OF DAVID BURNES \n\nTHE COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB was \nat one time a great organization. In its \nbest (lays the names of more than one \nthousand members were on its roll. Its home \nwas on G Street N.W., now owned and occupied by \nthe Young Men\'s Christian Association. Analostan \nIsland in the Potomac River was well nigh covered \nwith its ball fields, tennis courts, running track, grand \nstand and all the paraphernalia incident to active exer- \ncise in the out-of-doors. In 1892 it was compelled to \ngive up the Island and it engaged for the following \nseason the VanXess Square, sometimes called VanNess \nPark. Prof. John T. Crossley, the Club\'s Director \nof Athletics, is my authority for saying that the last \nspring games of the Club on Analostan Island were \nheld June 4, 1892, and that the Club\'s workmen l:)roke \nground for the new athletic field in the following \nspring. \n\nThe mansion did not seriously interfere with the \nnew l)all ground, but unfortunately the cottage stood \nwell toward the center of it. The Club considered \nremoving it to the west side of the scjuare, where it \nwould be out of the way, or, with the permission of the \nWar Department, to carry it across Seventeenth Street \nto the White House grounds. Individuals became in- \nterested in the fate of the ancient relic, the oldest \nhouse in Washington, and came to inspect and inquire. \nMr. J. Paul Smith, a well-known builder, was com- \nmissioned by the late Gardiner Greene Hubbard to ex- \namine the structure and report upon the feasibility of \nremoving it to his country-seat, "Twin Oaks." Mr. \nSmith\'s report was to the effect that the old house was \nso far gone that it would not survive the journey. I \n\n\n\n14 \n\n\n\nAND ITS DINING-ROOM MANTEL \n\nhave l)een told that the Hon. Alexander B. Ilagner. \nlong a Justice of the Supreme Court of the District \nof Columbia, and for years President of this Society, \nwent to see it and is (juoted as saying after his visit \nthat \'"he found neither the decayed cottage nor any- \nthing within it a subject for veneration or respect." \n\nThus matters stood during the summer and fall of \n1893 while the workmen were clearing the land of \ntrees and undergrowth and laying out for the Athletic \nClub its tracks and courts for the season of 1894. \nThe cottage was still on the ground in the spring of \n1894, no disposition having been made of it. About \nthe 20th of May of that year occurred a local thun- \nderstorm of extraordinary violence. The place had \nl)een denuded of trees and, lacking their protection, \nthe old cottage was racked and cracked by the \nferocious wind beyond any possibility of restoration \nor repair. It was now become a real danger to the \nworkmen and to everybody who approached it. Mr. \nCrossley, first obtaining authority from the officers of \nthe Clul), with the aid of "Tommy" O\'Neill, the track \nmaster, and two or three others, carefully encircled the \nstructure with heavy ropes and with a mighty all- \ntogether pull and heave, hurled it down, crumbling as \nit fell, into the cellar below. There on the identical \nspot where the cottage of David Burnes arose into \nbeing, it found burial. \n\nThis: \n(From the Washington Ercninij Star. W\'ax 24, 1894.) \n\n"Davy P.urnes\' cottage, which has withstood the \nstorms since 1748, is no more. It was torn down ves- \n\n\n\n15 \n\n\n\nTHE COTTAGE OF DA J\' ID B U R N E S \n\nterday by order of those engaged in laying out the \nCokimbia Athletic Club\'s new grounds. In spite of \nits apparently dilapidated condition, the structure re- \nquired the most forcible handling .to demolish. Down \nto the lowest brick in the foundation, strong and \nunited efforts of the workmen were required to level \nit. It was allowed to stand until the last moment, \nin the hope that it would not interfere with the various \nfields, but the necessity for its demolition became im- \nperative. The venerators of things historical cannot \nbut regret its destruction. It was the home until his \ndeath of one of the original proprietors of the ground \non which Washington stands. Of all the men General \nWashington came into contact with during his event- \nful career, Davy Burnes, he is said to have declared, \nwas the most obstinate. His Scotch nature bowed \nto none. He lived a Czar on his great tract, allowing \nnot even the foremost man in the country to oppose \nhim. The cottage was situated in \\ anNess Park, near \nthe foot of Seventeenth Street." \n\nThe writer of this visited the cottage only once. It \nwas in the autumn of 1893 when workmen were busy \nupon the new grounds. Curiosity seekers and relic \nhunters were daily visitors, but I can testify from \npersonal observation that there was, in or about the \ncottage at that time, absolutely nothing of value with \nthe possible exception of the antiquated mantel in the \ndining-room, which, after a century and a quarter of \nuse, was woefully the worse for wear. I had been \nPresident of the Clul) and readily obtained permission \n\n\n\nIT) \n\n\n\nAND ITS DINING-ROOM MANTEL \n\nto remove the old ornament for preservation, thus pre- \nventing its destruction by someone else for firewood. \nI sent it to a well-known local firm of dealers in fur- \nniture with instructions to clean and renovate it, but \non no account to undertake to restore it. This was \ndone and from 1893 to 1915, a period of twenty-two \nyears, the old mantel found in the high and dry cellar \nof my house a refuge from destruction in the cellar \nof Davy\'s house. The foreman of the shop in which \nit was cleaned told me that in the cleansing process \nhe removed from it three coats of paint, one of drab, \nanother of pea-green, and a third of light yellow \napproaching white, before reaching the original native \nwood. \n\nIn the year last named I made of it a present to \nour Society and it now has place among your \nmuniments. \n\nSome statistics of the old mantel follow : Material, \nVirginia pine; height, 63 inches; length of shelf, 80 \ninches; width of shelf, 8 inches; height of opening for \nlircplacc, 44 inches; width of the same, 57 inches. Of \nit has Ijeen said, after personal inspection jjy one of our \nbest informed dealers in antiques, that according to \nits design "it was probably made between the years \n1760 and 1800; natural pine color has been restored; \nhas the \'Greek key\' colonial moulding which shows \nthe mantel to have been made by hand ; head-piece is \nmortised into the side of the uprights; all the nails \nfastening it to the wall were handmade. While show- \ning much use it is in a good state of preservation." \n\n\n\n17 \n\n\n\nTHE COTTAGE OF DAVID BURNES \n\n\n\nThe legend on the plate of solid silver which identi- \nfies it follows : \n\n\n\nii\'Hiijii).i\'iBiijiii.\xc2\xbbi\'\xc2\xabiiii>\'HjHiin \n\n\n\n\'^im^mmmmmmmmmm^sM^ms^mmmmf^^ \n\n\n\n\'\xc2\xab\xc2\xabr \n\n\n\n-TntrinintroiriTinn i iiww ii n \xc2\xbb "ltiirniw-i nwnnwr n^ | \n\n\n\nnao. \n\nTHK^MANTEIIi \n\nQneDfThe Oi^iBiNALPF\\QPf^iETORS OfThe Land \nWhei^eqn IsTheCittOfWashinstdn . \n\n\n\nC/ \'^ ,| \n\n\n\n11905 \n\n\n\nHere ends a chronicle of the life, death and hurial \nof the cottage of David Burnes, "The Oldest House in \nWashington," and of the rescue and preservation of \nits last remaining ornament, its dining-room mantel. \n\n\n\ni^r^^o \n\n\n\n\n\n\nI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*^o \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n,^^ \n\n\n\nSft A*^ ,\'* <?^ V" r\'- \n\nA \n\n\n\n. \'o,,* .G^ \\D ^v \n\n\n\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 . s \n\n\n\n\n\n\no \xc2\xab o \xe2\x80\xa2^\' \n\n\n\n.^^. \n\n\n\n\n\xe2\x96\xa0^ o \n\n\n\n\nv\\ \n\n\n\n<f> * o \xc2\xbb o \' ^ \' ^\xc2\xb0 ^-\' \n\n\n\n-y \n\n\n\n:.>\xe2\x96\xa0 \n\n\n\n,^\' \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\no \xc2\xab o \n\n\n\no V \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nC \n\n\n\n.^^ \n\n\n\n0\' \n\n\n\n\n\n\n.,0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nt \xe2\x80\xa2 \n\n\n\n4 o \n\n\n\n,0^\' \n\n\n\n.5^ A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\xe2\x96\xa0^. \n\n\n\nC\' \n\n\n\n\xe2\x96\xa0^^f:-\'>^ \n\n\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2^. \n\n\n\n\xe2\x80\x9e*\xe2\x96\xa0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.-. .-^^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n^> \n\n\n\nV^ \n\n\n\n\'\xe2\x80\xa2ft\' \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nt, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n->\'r.\' ^,^ \n\n\n\nG \n\n\n\n\n\n\n~ c \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC\' u. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJ- \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\'^-. \n\n\n\nri \xe2\x96\xa0 \n\n\n\n^ \n\n\n\nv^ \n\n\n\nV \n\n\n\n<-^> \n\n\n\n^ \n\n\n\nA > , M O ^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2.^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\xe2\x96\xa0\'V 0^ \n\n\n\nc" .^ \n\n\n\n^ c. \xc2\xb0 " " \xc2\xbb <> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\'^ \n\n\n\n\xe2\x96\xa0-<- \'.:^^^\'\xe2\x96\xa0^*^,* ^1 \n\n\n\n,^ \n\n\n\n,^\xc2\xb0x. \n\n\n\n1^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n0^ .\' \n\n\n\ni?^ \n\n\n\n4 o>. \n\n\n\n<^^ \n\n<**\xe2\x80\xa2. \n\n\n\n\xc2\xbb I \xe2\x96\xa0< \n\n\n\n\n\n\n.\xe2\x96\xa0"\xe2\x96\xa0\xe2\x96\xa0^v>^\' \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\' ^-^f. d-> ^V \xe2\x80\xa2- <i^ /^ \xe2\x99\xa6. ^^ ^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\' . \xc2\xab \xc2\xab < \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\'^. \n\n\n\nif \n\n\n\n"=b \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJo \n\n\n\n\n\n\nr \n\n\n\n\xc2\xbb \n\n\n\n.0- \n\n\n\n^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n/h.\\ \'% > \n\n\n\n^ .^^ \n\n\n\n.-^ /- \n\n\n\n\n\n\n^^ ^V^ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nC \n\n\n\n^^. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nvV 0*0 \n\n\n\n<*. \n\n\n\n" J \n\n\n\nK. &^ \n\n\n\n-"\xe2\x96\xa0-0^ \n\n\n\nC \n\n\n\n\n\n\nt^.
