C, ‘OCTOBER - 31, 1937—PART ONE and yester University Women’s Building Is Rich in Social Tradition Association’s By JESSIE FANT EVANS. Rich in historical and social tradi- tion is the site of the present head- of University Women at 1634 I street | N.W., and there is peace and content- ment now on the site that was early henshrnuded with popular superstition | of ill-omen. once stood, distinguished college wom- | en have been meeting in council this their president, Dr. Margaret S. Mor- riss, dean of Pembroke College, Brown University. ‘When the Capital was in its infancy, so the story goes, there stood upon the site, a brown frame house surrounded by a lovely rose garden. Its idyllic atmosphere was shattered by constant | rumors that a ghost was walking the home and its garden paths to the ac- companiment of weird noises. To dispel the pall of superstition |its owner, according to tradition, had he entire house moved to the nearby | country side and the garden plowed up. But, for over a quarter of a cen- | tury, nearby residents insisted that ill | was connected with the spot. Became Rendezvous. | In 1876 Col. Robert Fleming, father | of Robert V. Fleming, president of the | Riggs National Bank, was commis- | sioned to erect upon this site, then | becoming the center of the city’s most quarters of the American Association | And where a men’s commercial club | | past week under the leadership of | Headquarters Housed an Embassy, Cabinet Mem- bers,and Rumors of Ghosts and Evil. |at Once guest during this period and relates many interesting stories of the gala | events, In June, 1913, 1643 I street was pur- chased by the Men's Commercial Club of Washington, which afterwards be- came the Men's City Club. During the. club’s occupancy a four-story addition | was made to the rear of the house, new heating, lighting and plumbing were installed and a pressed brick front put over “the weather-worn” ex- terior. Sixteen years ago, in 1921, the Amer- ican Association of University Women took title to the property. The association has cherished the best of the property's architectural features while adding to its improve- ments, which have increased its value | to over a quarter of a mililon dollars Its first floor, now the gathering place for distinguished groups of women from our own and other lands, present consists of the Goucher | Reading Room; the Elmira Reception | exclusive residential district, a town | | house for A.'B. Stoughton, wealthy patent attorney. This house was to | be a present to his daughter, the wife | ‘nr Paymaster Bacon of the United | States Navy. When Mr. Stoughton ! died before the house was completed | the rumors, long dormant, again reared | their heads and Mrs. Bacon, allotted the house in the division of her father’s estate, elected not to live in it, but irented it to Representative Wood of * New York. During his term in Con- gress it became the rendezvous for the political lights of the time. During President Cleveland's ad- | ministration 1634 I street’ was owned ;and occupied by Postmaster General Don Dickinson. To it flocked official and social leaders, the stories of its haunted past apparently forgotten. Newly-appointed Secretary of Navy Pranklin Tracy during President Harrison's term of office purchased the residence from Mr. Dickinson for $75,000. Extensive re- pairs were made and a three-story addition to its east side was made in 1889. Mrs. Tracy, the chatelaine of the household at this time, was a native of New York State and a college graduate. Although an invalid for many years, she was acclaimed every- where as one of thg most gracious and thoughtful hostesses since Dolly Madi- son’s time because of the warmth of her greeting and her individual inter- est in her guests. Two daughters, Miss Mary Lucy Farrington and Mrs. Wilderming, were their parents’ social aides. Colorful Scene. The columns of the Washington press give colorful descriptions of a brilliant New Year eve reception, the last of the distinguished gatherings of the “gay '90s” held there. They stress the charm apd beauty of the Tracy home. Despite “the inclement evening,” we are told, crowds gath- ered in front of 1634 I street on either | side of the arched canopy, which led from the doorway to the curb, to catch such glimpses as they could of the arriving guests, drawing up to the crimson carpet laid down for them, in. shiny broughams driven by proud coachmen. Scarcely a month had elapsed when the extra and the' regular edition of The Evening Star of February 3, 1890, gave the tragic details of a fire which resulted in the deaths of Mrs. Tracy and her two daughters and the almost complete destruetion of their home and its contents while they were sleeping. It was supposed that the fire started on the lower floor of the house and almost completely gutted it be- fore the sleeping occupants met their doom. The east room of the White House on February 5, was the scene of the funeral services. 5 Undeterred by the revived rumors, Augustus C. Taylor, an Army officer, purchased it in 1891, and built upon it at a cost of $40.000, a “five-story resi- | dence with a 45-foot front, a 54-foot height and a 53-foot length.” Accord- ing to one description the main part of the present building at that time was fashioned to stimulate “the inte- rior of a transatlantic liner in parts.” Seat of Embassy. The seat of the Imperial Russian Embassy from November, 1905, to De- cember, 1911, it was at no time in its history more the center of the gay social, political and diplomatic life of the Nation’s Capital. During this period of its occupancy it is claimed that President and Mrs. Roosevelt were both among those informally partici- pating in its hospitality. Mrs. Corcoran Thom, wife of the. president of the American Security & Trust Co., whose own home is at 1725 I street, was also & Room, known as “the sunken” or “well” room in the days when the representative of the Czar had his residence here; the College Club Room, gift from the College Women's Club of Washington, when it merged with the Washington branch of the asso- ciation; the Wellesley Room or Lounge, a coat room, and telephone booth and the offices leading off from the central entrance hall. A wide, beautifully paneled stair- way, whose turn is hung with & full length antique mirror, leads to the second floor. Here is the large, main dining room, a small dining room for private entertaining and glassed-in porch overlooking Farragut Square, are on this floor. Offices on Third Floor. The third floor is entirely given over to the national offices of the associa- tion. Here the association’s National Council has been meeting with the association’s president, Dr. Margaret 8. Morriss: Dean Virginia C. Gilder- sleeve of Barnard College, president of | the International Federation of Uni- | | | versity Women; Dr. Mary E. Wooley, past president of Holyoke College, chairman of the Committee on Inter- national Relations; Mrs. A. Ross Hill, treasurer of the association; Dr. Kathryn McHale, its general director; | her associates, Harriet Ahlers Houd- | lette, specialist in adult education; Esther Caulkin Brunauer, consultant in international education and secre- tary of the Committee on Interna- tional Relations; Helen Cole Frank- lin, authority on child development and the education of the family; Frances Valient Speek, expert in sec- ondary and collegiate education; Miss Mary Smith, secretary to the Committee on the Award of Fellow- ships and that of maintaining aca- demic standards in colleges and uni- | versities, and many other woman spe- cialists in their respective fields. Many of America's leading woman educators and college women make up this sectional directorate which an- nually meets here in national council. Numbered among the association’s former presidents are Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt of Mills College, Dr. Wooley of Holyoke, only woman to. represent the United States at Geneva, and Dr. Meta Glass of Sweet Briar, sister of Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. The fourth and fifth floors of 1643 T street with their 17 guest rooms are | available for the resident accommo- dations of its membership. It was here that Member Secretary Perkins, first woman cabinet member, lived in Washington during her search for a hame. The Washington branch of the as- sociation, organized in October, 1884, and the first of its 775 branches now situated in every State, Alaska, Ha- waii, the Philippines, China, Japan and South America, runs the National Club for the national organization, and rents the first two floors from the national assoclation for its group meetings and activities.
