The first step toward this end was the purchase of ground at the corner of New York Avenue and Eighteenth Street in Washington (lot 8, square 170, from Gustavus W. Scott, April 19, 1797), for which he paid one thousand dollars. Mr. Scott was one of the original purchasers from the Government, November 21, 1796. The next step was the selection of Doctor William Thornton, architect, to make the plans of the new residence. Work was commenced in 1798, and General Washington took a lively interest in the building as it progressed, visiting it during his journeys to Washington during 1798 and 1799. He died before its completion in 1800. The Tayloes occupied the house from its completion in 1800 until the death of Mrs. Tayloe in 1855. Colonel Tayloe was one of the wealthiest men 1n the country at that time, having an annual income of seventy-five thousand dollars. While the members of ‘the Tayloe family were not great statesmen or men of prominence 1n the learned or literary professions, they were, by reason of their wealth, culture and connection by marriage with the prominent families of Virginia and Maryland, a great factor in the life of the early days of the Republic. The following account of the Tayloe family is taken from data furnished by the Reverend William Tayloe Snyder of Washington, D. C. William Tayloe was born in London, and came to this country about 1650. He married Anne, daughter of Henry Corbin; he was a member of the King’s Council in 1651, and died in 1694. John Tayloe (1), his son, born 1687 and died September 17, 1747, married Elizabeth, daughter of Major Gwynn, and was a member of the King’s Council in 1732. 31 Street Front John Tayloe (2), born May 28, 1721, married July 11, 1747, Rebecca, daughter of George Plater (2), Secretary of State of Maryland. She was a sister of George Plater (3), Governor of Maryland. John Tayloe (2) was a member of the King’s Council in 1757 and a member of the House of Burgesses. He died April 18, 1779. He was the founder of the Mount Airy Estate on the northern neck of Virginia, Richmond County, between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers, on which one of the most stately of Colonial mansions was built in 1758. The estate 1s still in possession of the family. Their descendant, Colonel John Tayloe (3), was the only son of a family of eleven children. He was born September 3, 1771, married Anne, daughter of Governor Benjamin Ogle, of Maryland, October 24, 1792, and died February 29, 1828. He inherited the estate of Mount Airy, and built the Octagon in Washington. Colonel John Tayloe (3) and Anne, his wife, left a family of fifteen children. The Tayloes intermarried with the Ogle, Plater, Tasker, Bladen, Lloyd and Snyder families of Maryland, as well as with the Corbin, Page, Washington, Lee, Carter, Lewis, Willis, Chinn, Fitzhugh, Wellford, Langhorne, Gwathmey, and other prominent families in Virginia. Colonel Tayloe was educated at Eton, and was graduated in 1791 from Christ College, in Cambridge, England. He served as Captain of Dragoons in putting down the Whiskey Insurrection in western Pennsylvania, and was commissioned a major by President Adams in 1799. Colonel Tayloe had a son, Lieutenant John Tayloe (4), who died when thirty-one at Mount Airy. This son left a good record, being presented with a sword in the war of 1812 for his gallantry in the engagement of the Constitution with the Guerriere and in that of the Cyane with the Levant. He was captured by the British squadron at Porto Praya and for some time was held a prisoner. | 6 View of the Garden The Memoirs of Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, son of John Tayloe of the Octagon, furnish a most interesting description of the society of that time, and recount many anecdotes of prominent men of the period. Until the death of Colonel Tayloe, the Octagon was noted for its entertainments, which were given in a most generous manner to distinguished Americans and foreigners who visited Washington in those days, including such men as Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Decatur, Porter, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Randolph, Lafayette, Steuben, General Van Rensselaer, Doctor Thornton, and many others of less distinction. The most interesting historical event connected with the Octagon was its occupancy by President James Madison as the Executive Mansion. The British burned the White House on August 24, 1814. Tradition says that John Tayloe, from his home in Mount Airy, where he was living at the time, sent a courier to Madison, offering the Octagon for his use. This offer was accepted, and Madison moved into the Octagon on September 8, 1814. Although we have no data as to just how long he occupied the house, it was certainly more than a year. The Treaty of Peace with Great Britain, ending the war of 1812, was drawn up and signed by the authorized contracting parties in Ghent, Belgium, the 24th day of December, 1814. This treaty did not become effective until its ratification by the President of the United States. James Madison wrote his ratification on the back of the Treaty, in the circular second-story room of the Octagon, February 17, 1815, on the table which 1s now in the same room. This table has an interesting history. On its removal from the Octagon, it passed into the possession of John Ogle Tayloe, of Ferneaux, King George County, Virginia, and remained in his possession until October 30, 1897, when 1t was sold to Mrs. 7} A. H. Voorhies, and sent by Mr. Tayloe to her residence at 2011 California Street, San Francisco, California, where it remained until the great fire and earthquake in 1906. When the fire approached, and it was foreseen that the house was doomed, the table was hastily taken away. In describing its removal, Mrs. Voorhies says, “We wrapped sheets around the circular part of the table, and a part of its journey it went turning around as a wheel to a place of safety.” The San Francisco Chapter of the American Institute of Architects purchased the table from Mrs. Voorhies for one thousand dollars, and sent it to Washington, December 1, 1911. In recognition of this generous action, the following resolution was passed by the 45th Convention, December 15, 1911. “RESOLVED, That the American Institute of Architects in Convention assembled thanks most heartily the San Francisco Chapter, and desires to record its high appreciation of the gift, and to commend the spirit which prompted the purchase and restoration to the Octagon of this table so intimately con- nected with the history of the building.” Madison used the circular room in the second story for his office, and he and Dolly Madison used the eastern suite on the same floor, consisting of a large room and two dressing-rooms as their private apartments. We can well imagine the old house in that period, with its simple tinted walls, polished long-leatf pine floors, polished mahogany doors on the first floor, white woodwork, with the mantels elaborately carved and sometimes relieved by gold, the elaborate and delicate cornices, crystal chandeliers, Adams, Sheraton, and Empire mahogany furniture, paintings by Stuart and some of the better English painters of the day,—a simple, refined and stately ensemble. We may easily visualize the courtly character of the entertainments which added life, color, and beauty to the Arch betwesn the Vestibule aad Stejemny attractive surroundings; the men in their picturesque costumes, with knee-breeches, silk and satin, long waistcoats and swallow- tailed coats, softened by the flowing ruffles of shirt fronts and wristbands. The ladies in their Empire dresses of soft silk, showing to advantage their pleasing poses and charming figures in the delightful and stately combinations of the graceful minuets which were often danced on the floors of the Octagon. About the time of Mrs. Tayloe’s death, the section of the city in which the Octagon was built had lost its character as a prominent residential section, and the property was allowed to deteriorate. The St. Rose’s Technical Institute, a Catholic School for Girls, occupied the building sometime in 1865. The Government rented it from July, 1866, to the summer of 1879 for the use of the Hydrographic office. It was then used as draughting offices by Mr. Henry Brewer in 1883, and was occupied by a Mrs. Morrell as a dwelling and studio until about 1885. From this date until the Institute leased it in 1899 it was in the hands of a caretaker, by the name of Thornton, no relative of the architect, who lived there for a great many years, apparently in abject poverty, and the house became almost squalid. [ 8 I recollect visiting the building in 1886, when it was in this condition, and of making drawings of it for the American Architect of Boston. Again I recollect going into the building just before the Institute gained possession of it. It was occupied by eight or ten colored families living in the various rooms. The mantels were masses of dirt, and the house, to those who did not appreciate its beauty, might have been considered a wreck. But, curiously as it may appear, the only material damage to the house was the incrusted dirt on the mantels and a few missing plaster ornaments. That the family of Tayloe thought highly of the house is indicated by the fact that Mrs. Leland Stanford, of California, authorized me to purchase the parlor mantel without placing a limit upon the price. She wished it first for her house in Washington, and then it was to go to California. I found that no monetary consideration would induce the heirs to mutilate the property. The question of securing a permanent home for the Institute was considered immediately after the reorganization of the Association, following the Civil War, in 1867. Several efforts were made to raise funds for the purpose, but they were all abortive. The Washington Chapter (1894-1895) brought the attention of many individual members of the Institute to the advantages of Washington as the proper place for the offices of the Society. At the 30th Convention (1896) it was “RESOLVED, That the permanent headquarters of the American Institute of Architects be located in the City of Washington at as early a date as 1s possible, and that the Executive Committee 1s hereby empowered to make such arrangements as are necessary.” | The committee felt assured that rooms could be secured in the Congressional Library, but the question was referred to a special committee for investigation. The committee made no report at the 31st Convention (1897), but the desirability of securing such a NaN The Vestibule and Stairway 9 offices was mentioned in the address of the President and in the report of the Board of Directors. The committee on the report of the Board of Directors, of which I was a mem- ber, suggested two plans: One of them was an association with the National Museum, the advantages of such an association being pointed out. At the same time this committee made the first suggestion of securing the Octagon in the following recommendation: “It 1s thought more desirable for the Institute to have its own building; the ‘Octagon House, one of the best examples of work done in the year 1800, can be secured for thirty dollars per month; its plan, character of design and workmanship, and location make it peculiarly suitable for the headquarters of the Institute. We would recommend the Board of Directors to take advantage of one of these oppor- 1 tunities which are open at the present Column in Vestibule time.” This was followed by action of the Board, February 11, 1898: “Voted: That a committee of three be appointed by the President, Mr. George B. Post, to secure a lease of the so-called ‘Octagon House, Washington, D. C., for a term of five years, if possible, for a rental not exceeding three hundred and sixty dollars per year, and with further power to formulate a plan, obtain funds, and put the house in condition for occupancy.” It was also voted: “That the committee be authorized to issue debenture bonds of small denominations to an amount not exceeding five thousand dollars, and that the form of the bond is to be approved by the Executive Committee before issuing the same.” The passage of this vote was the outcome of a report of the Washington Chapter, presented to the Board of Directors at that time. Among the advantages of Washington as a permanent location for the Institute, the following were set forth in this report: That it afforded the broadest field in which the Institute could work to obtain national legislation 1n relation to art and construction; that it could there more efficiently advocate the establishment of a government testing station and a National Architectural Museum; that it would there be in a position to make its influence felt in the adoption by the Government of methods for procuring designs for national buildings, particularly those methods which were later so successfully inaugurated under the direction and by order of the Secretary of the United States Treasury, the Honorable Lyman J. Gage, an Honorary Member of the Institute, and an efficient supporter of the best interests of the profession. In pursuance of that vote and in accordance with the instructions of the Board of Directors the President of the Institute appointed Frank Miles Day, Robert Stead, and Wilson Eyre, Jr., a committee to procure a lease of the Octagon House, put it in condition for occupation and issue bonds to the amount of five thousand dollars to meet the expense thereof. The committee actively pursued the instructions given, and a meeting was held in the [ 10 Octagon during the 32nd Convention, November 2, 1898. A summary from its report gives a clear idea of the house as cleaned and fitted up for occupancy. In the first place, it was found that the house and grounds were in the care of a Trust Company, and that the owners felt that the house had no present value. A first visit to it seemed only to confirm the owners’ feeling, for the room on the right was heaped six feet high with piles of rags and rubbish, and the rest of the house was in a dilapidated condition. It looked like a most unpromising undertaking to put it in order. The lease was finally made at a low rate, providing the Institute would put the house in order and care for it. The owners wanted the privilege of selling it at any time they received a good offer, but eventually it was agreed that at any time the owners were tendered a sum large enough to lead them to sell the property, they should offer it to the Institute at the same figure. The owners also agreed that the considerable sum of money expended by the Institute in repairs to the buildings should be repaid to the Institute, provided the property was sold before the term of the lease expired, the lease being for five years at three hundred and sixty dollars a year. A further term of five years at five hundred dollars a year was also agreed upon, at the option of the Institute, provided that no sale of the property had taken place, so that the Institute thus obtained a very good house at three hundred and sixty dollars a year, plus a portion of the money which it was obliged to expend upon it. Later the grounds were gradually improved, and the house kept in fair order. The Institute began its occupation of the Octagon, January 1, 1899. Henry Van Brunt, President, and myself as Secretary, began our terms of office at the same time. The desirability of purchasing the Octagon before the lease expired was con- stantly before the Institute, but nothing was accomplished until the administration of President McKim (1902-1903). He immediately authorized the Secretary to make an offer for the purchase of the property for thirty thousand dollars, one- third of which was to be paid in cash. When I informed him that we had only five hundred dollars in the treasury, he said, “If I cannot get others to join with me, I will send you my own check for the cash payment.” With that understanding I made the offer, which was accepted, and the result 1s explained in the report of the Board of Directors to the Convention of 1902: “The Octagon House, in which the interest of the architectural profession has been centered for the past four years, both because of its architectural qualities and as the offices of the Institute, has, after four years of effort and negotiations, passed into the ownership of our Society. To accomplish this end, the Board has agreed to pay thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) for the property, consisting of 22,322 square poe UL Gl feet of ground, being 174 feet on New Onc of the Srover-Th the Vesihule i) York Avenue, and 181 feet on 18th Street; containing dwelling, stable, and smoke- house. In the purchase of the property several members of the Institute have been generous enough to contribute a portion and underwrite the balance of the first payment of ten thousand dollars. The Board feels assured that the members of the Institute will appreciate the importance to the architectural profession of the pos- session of a permanent home. The minutes of the various meetings of the Board of Directors, from 1857 to the present time, show that the importance of such a possession has been a subject of almost yearly discussion, and we feel that the body is to be congratulated upon attaining the accomplishment of this desire and need, which has been felt by the Institute during the past forty-six years.” It 1s worthy of mention that President McKim and myself, as Trustees, signed a dl the deferred notes in the private office in Interior View of the Entrance Door the White House. McKim, Mead & White were restoring the White House at the time, and I was acting as local superintendent. Subscriptions came 1n satisfactorily, and in the administration of President Cass Gilbert, and largely through his exertions, the final debt of fifteen thousand dollars was cleared off and the property was free. | This purchase included the stable and the lots numbered 7 and 8 in square 170. Lot number 7 was purchased as a part of the old property, although it was not included when the property was rented by the Institute. As soon as the property was purchased and repaired by the Institute, it at once began to attract the attention of those interested in old Georgian buildings, and we were immediately offered fifty thousand dollars for it. When it was found that the Institute would not part with it, we had offers to lease it, which included its restoration and return, in perfect order, to the Institute, after a certain number of years. The members of the Institute were so much pleased with their purchase that they declined to consider either the sale or lease of the property. Mr. McKim was very anxious to have a meeting hall erected somewhere on the property, so that the Institute could hold its Annual Conventions in its own home. This question was discussed by the Board of Directors for a number of years. To bring the matter to a focus, I, as a member of the House Committee, made a sketch plan showing a meeting hall on the rear of the property, combining it with the old stable. This was presented at the Convention in Chicago (1907), the sketch having had Mr. McKim’s criticism and approval. While considerable interest was manifested in this addition to the Octagon property, no steps were taken to secure the money necessary for its erection as there was quite a difference of opinion as to what was the best solution. The Board of Directors authorized Glenn Brown and Bedford Brown to make a more careful study of this proposed addition and to submit it to the Convention of 1911. The lots 5 and 6 north of the old property were purchased, to give more room for a possible Convention Hall. New sketches were prepared after a long and careful study of the subject and [ 12 submitted to the Directors. They were exhibited and discussed at the Convention of 1912, in Washington, and published in the first issue of the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, January, 1913. While approved in principle, there was no definite action taken on this proposed development of the Octagon property. The Octagon house is a very interesting type of Georgian or Adam design, built of red brick and trimmed with Aquia Creek sandstone. The front is laid in Flemish bond, whereas the rear shows an English bond, and the arches are of rubbed face brick, a common method of giving a slight contrast to emphasized features in Georgian buildings. The yard on the street lines is inclosed by a high brick wall, while the stable and its yard are cut off from the house by a terrace wall. The indications from the character of the brickwork and bonding show that sections of the outbuildings and the fence were built at later periods than the house. The house originally had a flat deck roof, and was encircled by high parapet walls, with white plaster panels over the vertical line of the windows. This feature is shown in the drawings made in 1813, while the drawing owned by Mr. Carter Wellford of Sabine Hall, and made between 1830 and 1840, shows the roof as it exists today. The interior of the house derives a particular charm from the delicate character of the architraves, the leaf ornaments in the cornices, and from the proportions and details of the mantels. The house is also interesting because of the old English framing of woodwork throughout. The doors are all of Georgia long-leaf pine, with the exception of those on the first floor, which are of solid mahogany. Where the door-opening destroyed the balance, concealed doors were introduced to maintain symmetry. In the preparation of the measured drawings of the house many interesting points were noted. The character of the jointing of the brickwork in the wall changed at the building line of lot 8, and the wall was not bonded into the pier, which proved that it was built at a different period. Upon investigating the records, it was found that lot 8 was purchased in 1797, while lot 6 was not purchased until 1806, nine years after- ward. The brickwork shows that the smoke-house was built after the wall on Eighteenth street had been erected, as the upper portion of this outbuilding 1s built directly on the top of the old wall. The stone caps project through into the house. Evidence that the terrace wall separating the stable yard from the house yard was built at a later period is afforded by the manner in which it butts into the house. The east line of the stable conforms with the original line of lot 8, showing that it was built before the second lot was purchased. The two water-color drawings of the house, one made in 1813 and the other sometime between 1830 and 1840, clearly indicate the changes in the exterior of the building made between these dates. The early drawing shows no outside blinds, a conspicuous feature which the artist would have indicated, thus confirming the corres- ponding inference which I had drawn from Mantel and Cornice—Drawing-room 13 | Mantel in Drawing-room the character of the frames and the inserted hinges, which indicated that the blinds were put on at a later date. The later drawing shows that the upper portion of the outside blinds was stationary, and this 1s again verified by the hinges in place on the window- frames. I have already mentioned the fact that the house originally had a parapet wall and a flat roof. The old roof had sufficient fall to carry the water to a lead box gutter on the rear. Some of this lead 1s still in place in this old gutter. This roof was covered with several layers of canvas saturated with bitumen. The new pitched roof was put on at a later date, probably before 1840, and was covered with cypress shingles, which are now under a tin roof placed over them some thirty or forty years ago. The original street level of New York Avenue and Eighteenth Street was about two feet higher than the present one, and in excavating the street the foundation of the yard wall on New York Avenue was exposed, making it necessary to underpin the wall and put in a new foundation. Lowering the street level also made it necessary to increase the number of the front steps. It was at this time, probably, that the small individual areas around the windows were combined into the one large area, which exists at present. The stonework around the windows indicates that originally they had small areas covered by gratings similar to those at present near the entrance. The cement composition used in the drawing-room and dining-room mantels and in the caps and bases of the front portico is of a buff-color. The modeling of the ornaments 1s as sharp and as clear as the day they were made, and, strange to say, exhibits no chipped edges or other marring, so excellent was this cast cement. The mantels were made by Coade, of L.ondon, in 1799, as shown by his signature cast on two of them. An interesting coincidence 1s found 1n the fact that Doctor Thornton, in a letter to President Jefferson, recommends artificial stone for the bases and caps for the [ 14 University of Virginia, “To be had very cheap from Coade’s manufactory in the Borough of London.” None of the original trees now stand in the yard, with the exception of the honey locust. The yellow locust, now in the last stages of decrepitude (the life of this species is from fifty to seventy-five years), was planted fifty years after the house was built. The paper mulberries have sprung up within the last thirty years from volunteer growth. The old honey locust, judging from its size and character, was on the property when it was purchased in 1806, and the remnants of the Kentucky coffee trees or American mahogany seem to indicate that they were nearly contemporary with the house. There 1s nothing to indicate the original trees, and it 1s very probable that the section enclosed by the stable wall on the north and the terrace on the west was used as a flower-garden, in which trees were not wanted, lest they interfere with the growth of the flowers. The drawing made in 1813 shows a row of Lombardy poplars on the street line. From their size it would appear that they might have been set out at the time the house was built. The later drawing of the house, made between 1830 and 1840, shows these trees gnarled and decayed, which 1s just about the condition of this variety of trees after thirty or forty years of growth. The present trees on the street were all planted by the street department in the past forty years. The box hedges were planted by Mr. Robert Stead, of the committee which had charge of making the Octagon ready for the Institute, and the old-fashioned flowers were planted by Mrs. Glenn Brown, who for some years took a lively interest in the garden. The outbuildings shown on lot 7 (the foundations of which appear on the plan) were used some years ago as an outside kitchen and servants’ headquarters, as testified to by Judge Hagner, who remembered playing in them with the Tayloe boys. Mantel in Dining-room 15 | Doctor William Thornton, Architect (From a Miniature) DOCTOR WILLIAM THORNTON A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OCTOR WILLIAM THORNTON, architect, a West Indian, was one of the first, 1) as well as one of the most interesting, of the pioneers of the profession in this country. His family was prominent among the Friends in England. His parents moved to the island of Tortola, in the West Indies, in 1761. There Thornton was born, on May 27 of the same year. At this period either Thornton’s father or uncle was governor of the island. When five years old, Thornton was sent to England to be educated. He studied medicine under Doctor Feld, and with the noted Doctor Brown, of Edinburgh. In that city he was graduated in medicine in 1784. His studies were continued in Paris, and there an intimate friendship was formed with the noted Countess Beauharnais, a relative of Empress Josephine’s first husband. She was an authoress and held a famous salon. Thornton traveled extensively on the continent of Europe with Count Audriani, the naturalist, after which he came to this country and took up a temporary residence in Philadelphia. In 1790 he married the daughter of Mrs. Ann Brodeau, a successful school- teacher of that city. Mrs. Thornton, who was born in England, was a lady of culture, and an artist of some ability, which is proved by a miniature of her husband in the possession of Mrs. Kennon’s family. After their marriage they returned to Tortola, where Doctor Thornton had an interest in the estate of his father. In 1793 he moved to Washington, where he lived until his death, in 1828. He left no children. Upon his arrival in the city he found it necessary to take a house in Georgetown. Some years afterward he moved to 1331 F Street, opposite the present Ebbitt House. At this place he and James Madison were neighbors for eight years. In his Memoirs, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe says: [ 16 “He had a well-earned reputation for letters and taste; he was a wit, a painter, and a poet.” Dunlap, whose work was published only a short time after Thornton’s death, says, “He was a scholar and a gentleman, full of talent and eccentricity, a Quaker by profession, a painter, a poet, and well acquainted with the mechanics’ arts; his company was a complete antidote to dullness.” Doctor Thornton’s duties brought him into close relation with such eminent men of his day as Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Randolph, L’Enfant, Adams, Hamilton, and Fulton. He was intimate socially with the Tayloes, Carrolls, Stuarts, Van Nesses, and others who were prominent in political and social life of the Federal capital in those days. The acquaintance with Washington ripened into such an intimacy that his home was the President’s familiar resort when in the Federal City. The National Intelligencer of March 29, 1828, as well as the Columbian Institute and the Colonization Societies, in memorials on his death, pay a high tribute to his ability, good-fellowship, and philanthropy. The American Philosophical Society conferred the Magellanic gold medal upon him in December, 1792, as a distinction for his book on the elements of written language, which was published in Philadelphia, in 1793, under the title of “Cadmus.” There is an extended review of “Cadmus” in the Monthly Review of the year of its publica- tion, as well as a note 1n reference to’ an article on teaching the dumb. He pub- lished papers on medicine, as- tronomy, philos- ophy, finance, government, and art, as well as on language. According to the Science Record, in June, 1310, he pub- lished a long defense of Fitch as the inventor of the applica- tion of steam to navigation. This pamphlet was reprinted in the Patent Office Record in 1850, and 1s consid- ered an official document of value. As. an inventor he claimed, accord- The Entrance Porch 17 | . Saga Ga = : 7 ing to Tayloe, to be the first to apply steam to boat propulsion. He was associated with Fitch in his experiments on the Delaware before Fulton commenced his on the Hudson. Brissot describes Fitch as run- ning a boat by steam, from Philadelphia to Trenton in 1789, and notes the fact that thousands witnessed the event. In his pamphlet (1810) Doctor Thornton claims that Fulton was indebted to him for val- uable suggestions, as Fulton saw his (Thornton’s) drawings when he visited the Patent Office in 1806. As early as 1788 Rumsey applied for a patent on steamboats, which conflicted with the invention of Fitch. This was proved by Fitch winning the case. Fulton’s first patent was not issued until 1809. Doctor Thornton claimed that Ful- ton’s death was due to the worry caused by the strength of his (Thornton’s) pamphlet. While in America the first time, he was engaged to build steamboats to navigate the Mississippi (before 1790). This scheme Se fell through for lack of financial aid. He Entrance to President Madison’s Office seems to have had greater faith in the Tremty of Ghost Room future of steamboats than Fulton, who offered to bet the former that a boat could never go more than five miles an hour, while Thornton expected a speed of twelve miles. Another of his inventions, which has recently been revived, was the conversion of sawdust into planks, and he also received patents for improvements in steamboats, steam boilers, and condensers. Fernando Fairfax gave him two thousand pounds for a quarter interest in his patents and manufacturing companies. As an artist, he was more than an amateur. Tayloe mentions a head of Jefferson, by King, as a copy of a painting by Doctor Thornton; and Mrs. Kennon, now deceased, then of Tudor House, in Georgetown, who knew Doctor Thornton in her childhood, had a miniature of Washington, painted by him. Mr. Charles Hoffman, of Frederick, Maryland, and Mrs. Miller, of Washington, had pieces of his work, among them being a portrait of the Countess of Beauharnais. He was noted for both philanthropy and bravery. Brissot says: “From conversations with Thornton, although his exterior denotes not the Quaker, yet he professes their principles and practices their morality.” Brissot gives quite a lengthy account of his efforts to colonize the negroes in Africa. He went to the expense of sending an agent to Africa to locate a colony. Unfortunately, this vast scheme was not accomplished. He became actively interested in negro colonization as early as 1789, and was until his death a member of the American Colonization Society. When the British captured Washington, in 1814, an officer ordered a gun turned on the Patent Office Building. Doctor Thornton rode up and jumped off his horse in front of the gun demanding, “Are you Englishmen, or Goths and Vandals? This is the Patent Office, the depository of the inventive genius of America, in which the whole civilized world 1s concerned. Would you destroy it? If so, fire away, and let the charge pass | 18 through my body!” By this manifestation of courage the patent records were saved. He carried them to his farm in the country, so that none were lost, and he also placed a guard at the Navy Yard and Capitol during the evacuation. Among his papers are his commissions as Lieutenant and Captain in the war of 1812. One of his most intimate friends was John Tayloe, the owner of the Octagon, probably the most noted producer of race-horses in this country at that time. Doctor Thornton also kept and raised race-horses, importing fine animals from Barbary and England. His account books show quite a number of blooded stock, each of which was valued at more than two thousand dollars. By horses and benevolences he is said to have lost large sums of money. There are three things which connect him intimately with the history of the City of Washington and the country, and wherein the excellent character of his work places us under obligation to him: First, his artistic ability and skill in producing the best scheme for the Capitol, which forms the nucleus of the present structure. Second, his general culture, breadth, and capacity as one of the Commissioners of the District, which are shown in the execution of the magnificent ideas of Washington and L’Enfant as to streets, and his own and Hoban’s ideas as to buildings and grounds. Third, his mechanical knowledge and executive ability. The Patent Office, which has fostered and encouraged the inventive ability of the country, began under his management. The Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds possesses quite a number of volumes containing early letters relating to the formation of the District of Columbia, the laying out of Washington City, and the erection of the Federal buildings, as well as a complete record of the proceedings of the Commissioners from 1792 to 1802. The history of Doctor Thornton’s connection with the city and public buildings 1s to be found in these volumes and in letters in the possession of private parties. By Act of Congress of January 4, 1790, the President was authorized to appoint a commission to survey a district, and to purchase, adopt, and lay out a plan for the Federal City, and prior to the first Monday 1n December, 1800, they were to “provide suitable buildings for the accommodation of Congress, the President, and the public officers of the United States Government.” All their work was subject to the approval of President Washington. The first Com- missioners, appointed January 22, 1791, were Thomas Johnson and David Carroll, of Maryland, and David Stuart, of Virginia. On September 16, 1794, Doctor Thornton received this commission from President Washington: “I hereby appoint said William Thornton one of the Commis- sioners for surveying the district or terri- tory accepted for the permanent seat of the Government of the United States . with all authority to proceed according to law. “Given this twelfth day of September, 1794, of the Independence of the United States the nineteenth. “George Washington “by Edw. Randolph.” As there is nothing in the record to show the amount of time that the Com- missioners were expected to devote to their duty, we must assume that the matter was ed probably left to their own judgment, and Treaty of Ghent Table 19 | that they must have had considerable time for their own businesses. The salary of a Commissioner was sixteen hundred dollars a year. After Doctor Thornton became a member of the Board of Commissioners, a decided im- provement 1s evident in their written proceedings, and in the business forms and contracts which were introduced in connection with the streets, bridges, and buildings that were in their charge, an improvement the credit for which would appear to belong to Doctor Thornton. His ability was appreciated by his con- temporaries, one of whom, Andrew Ellicott, then doing the field work in laying out the city, sent a letter in which he rejoiced over Doctor Thornton’s appointment, for the good of the streets and buildings, saying: “The former Commissioners were totally ignorant and an easy prey,” and he warns Doctor Thornton to be on his guard. Washington, before retiring from the Presidency, said: “I think the United States are interested in the continuance of you in the service: Therefore I should regret that either of you (Thornton, Scott, or White) by resignation should deprive them of assistance which I believe you are able to give.” Thornton’s education and disposition caused him to take an active part in all the duties of the Commissioners, which comprised the supervision of the surveys for the District boundary and the streets of the city, the subdivision of squares into lots, the location of Federal buildings, the preparation of maps and their reproduction, the provision of plans for the Federal buildings and the arrangements for temporary buildings and bridges, the laying out of grounds, the opening of quarries, brickyards, kilns and lime-kilns, the cutting of lumber, the procuring of workmen for brickmaking, quarrying, and stone-cutting, as well as brick and stone-masons, carpenters, and laborers. Workmen, at this period, were obtained by advertisement and negotiation from England, Scotland, France, and different parts of this country. The Commissioners let all contracts and supervised the foremen who obtained the material from the quarry, kiln, or forest, and who superintended the work on streets, buildings, or bridges. In all cases we find Doctor Thornton insisting on the necessary grandeur of scale, as he frequently places himself on record as opposed to some of the narrower views of other members of the Board. The Commissioners, on July 20, 1795, made building regulations for the city. It would be fair to assume that Doctor Thornton, being the architect on the Board, was the prime mover and preparer of these regulations. The Commissioners obtained and disbursed money, bills for even the most trifling object being submitted for their approval. They attended to the sale and other negotiations in connection with transfers of lots. At one time Doctor Thornton was delegated to negotiate a loan in Philadelphia, and another in England. In both cases he was successful. In an answer to a letter from Washington concerning a plan for a National University, two Commissioners wrote, February 18, 1797: “Doctor Thornton has long had in contemplation to lay before the Executive such a one.” In 1801 the Commissioners of the District became offended at a report of Congress [ 20 Mantel in Dolly Madison Room which reflected upon their management. By request, a committee of Congress examined their accounts, and it was proved that the Commissioners had served with perfect integrity. An Act, May 1, 1802, abolished the office of the Commissioners, their principal work being completed, and the President appointed Thomas Monroe to perform a part of their duties. Doctor Thornton’s architectural education was apparently self-acquired. He early displayed a talent for drawing. When a lad at school in England, he showed his uncle two five pound notes asking him to select the one best engraved; the selection proved to be the one which young Thornton had just copied in pen and ink. In 1782 his interest and knowledge in antiquarian research caused him to be elected a member of the Antiquarian Society of Scotland, Sir John Dalrymple Baronet and the Earl of Bucham being his endorsers. In 1784 we find him attending lectures at the Royal Academy, and from his work we know that he acquired skill in draughtsmanship. His extensive travel gave him a wide acquaintance with the buildings of the world. He mentions his first architectural effort without date: “I saw a publication for a public library in Philadelphia offering a premium for the best. . . . I got some books and worked a few days, then gave them a plan in the ancient Ionic Order which carried the day.” The foundation for the new building was laid August 31, 1789. This preliminary study, added to a quick and intelligent knowledge of mechanics, all contributed to the excellence of his later work. It has been asserted by some writers that Doctor Thornton was simply a dilettante in the profession. The only way in which we can judge of his attainments is by examination of his work, and a knowledge of the estimation in which he was held by his contemporaries. His drawings show skill and draughtsmanship, and reveal his education and knowledge of refinement in design. In design and construction, his executed work compares favorably with the best of the period. In a professional capacity, he was trusted during long periods by such astute men as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and many others, yet Adolf Cluss, in an address in 1869, calls him an amateur: J. H. B. Latrobe, in an address delivered before the American Institute of Architects in Washington, in 1881, states that Thornton had only two weeks’ study in the profession; Trumbull gives him the credit of having studied three months. Truly, to have accomplished so much with so little study, he must have been a remarkable man! When General Washington erected a building on North Capitol Street, between B and C Streets, which was known as the Hotel Kenmore, Doctor Thornton was his architect and superintendent, as 1s shown by letters of Washington. Montpelier, the country residence of James Madison, in Orange County, Vir- ginia, was another piece of Thornton’s work. In dignity, simplicity, and refine- ment it compares favorably with some of the best modern residences. In a letter to “Mrs. H. M. Smith, written in September, 1830, President Madison says: “The only drawing of my house is that by Dr. William Thornton. It 1s without the wings now making a part of all.” The interior of Montpelier has been remodeled out of Mantel in Treaty of Ghent Room 21 all semblance to its original self. Wood-Lawn—an imposing brick mansion built by George Washington near Mount Vernon, as a gift to his step-daughter Nellie Custis, upon her marriage to Lawrence Lewis— was built from Doctor Thornton’s plans. The Tudor House, in Georgetown, was built about 1810 by Mr. Thomas Peter. Although an imposing old structure, the work does not compare with that shown in the Octagon house. The interest in this house centers in the fact that one of Doctor Thornton's original sketches of both plan and elevation is still in existence. The exterior of this house is very nearly in its original condition. In the plan is the elliptical form of room which Thornton first used in his plan of the Capitol. While the exterior of this house 1s an improvement on the sketch, the alterations in plan, probably to save money, are decidedly inferior to the original. Several of Doctor Thornton’s sketches, given to me and presented to the Institute, are now in the Octagon. For Jefferson, he made a design for the mace of the State of Virginia in which he used the rattlesnake as the principal feature, the symbol typifying something which is peculiarly American, peaceful until hurt or aroused for self-defense, and strikes only after giving warning. He made an elaborate scheme for a Washington Monument, a description and rough sketch of which were among his private papers. The sketch shows a mound surmounted by figures, Wash- ington sur- mounting the whole. In . the . Con- gressional Li- brary, among the papers of J. Henley Smith, 1s an original let- ter, dated May 9 1817, trom Jefferson, asking Doctor Thorn- ton to make drawings for the University of Virginia, and Doctor Thorn- ton’s_ letter transmitting the drawings. From his description of the drawings sent and from 3 8 a study ‘of the Garden Front building we may | 22 assume that they had at least. a slight influence in the design. Among the drawings of Doctor Thorn- ton which Mr. Edward Clark presented to the American Insti- tute of Archi- tects 1s what was evidently his de- sign for the Pres- ident’s House. Doctor Thorn- ton wrote from Tortola to the Commissioners at: that date, 1792, stating that he had made designs in con- formity with the advertisements soliciting com- petitive plans for the President's House and for the Capitol. In an answer to this letter, November 15, 1792, the Commissioners state that the plans for the President's Palace by James Hoban had already been selected. This design of Thornton conforms with the requirements of the advertisement, which suggests a central building with wings, built of brick and stone, and, as we know that Doctor Thornton made the design, it scarcely can be supposed that it was made for any other purpose. It 1s a well-executed wash drawing of good proportion, dignified and simple in its treatment, an alternate flap suggesting a decidedly improved form for the wings. [t 1s difficult to understand the plan of the building from the elevations, although it 1s clear that separate apartments were to be provided for the conduct of official, private, and social duties. The plan 1s not easy to compare with that of the present structure, of which only the central portion has been erected, but the central portion of Doctor Thornton's design will compare favorably with the structure as erected. The drawings sent in for the first competition on the United States Capitol were not satisfactory; thus, when Doctor Thornton’s drawings arrived late, the question was still an open one. The Commissioners were all attracted by his scheme, Washington being particu- larly pleased, and after some discussion his plans were accepted as the design for the new building. Doctor Thornton would not agree to give his whole time to the superintendence of this work, and Stephen Hallet, one of the original competitors, was given the position of 23 | Garden Entrance Stable and Stable Entrance superintendent. He at once made trouble by industriously devoting his time to changing the design and plan. When he had sufficiently provoked Washington’s anger, he was dismissed, and Thornton was made one of the Commissioners, with special instruction to supervise the erection of the Capitol according to his plans. He made further drawings and acted as supervisor of the Capitol from 1794 to 1802, when he was superseded by Latrobe. Under his supervision the character of the exterior was fixed by the completion of the old Senate wing of the Capitol. A full account of his work in connection with the Capitol may be found in the first volume of “The History of the United States Capitol.” The first patent legislation occurred in 1790. The Secretaries of War and State and the Attorney-General were authorized to grant patents. It 1s stated that over the issue of the first patents, Jefferson, Secretary of State, Knox, Secretary of War, and Randolph, Attorney-General, would hold special conferences. In 1793 this law was changed, placing the matter in the hands of the Secretary of State. In May, 1802, President Jefferson appointed Doctor Thornton the first clerk to have charge of patents at a salary of $1,400 a year. At one period he was given $2,000 a year as Superintendent of Patents, at the same time acting as Justice of Peace (being entitled to certain fees), a Commissioner of Bankruptcy and a member of the Levy Court. His salary, with his income from other positions, was supposed to be $2,400. Madison urged Congress to give him this amount for his Patent Office work. In 1810, Doctor Thornton moved the Patent Office, with its models and records, into the east end of Blodgett’s Hotel, a building located on the north side of E Street, between 7th and 8th Streets, and which the Government had purchased. The Patent Office and Post Office remained in this building until the fire in 1836. In the Blue Book of 1821, Doctor Thornton 1s recorded as Superintendent of Patents. Mr. Campbell says: “During many years of his superintendency, he freely exercised his [ 24 discretion in issuing patents. In a communication to the Secretary of State, January 16, § 1818, Doctor Thornton defined equities and limitations of a reissue as concisely and luminously as has ever been done by any court or text writer.” From Thornton’s practice grew the Act of July 3, 1832, providing for the reissue of a defective patent. Thornton held this office until his death, March 28, 1828. ; When the present Patent Office was being erected, Mrs. Thornton requested Robert Mills, the architect, to place either a niche or a bracket in the building for the reception of a bust of Doctor Thornton, in memory of his labors for the good of this department, but no notice seems to have been taken of the request. In 1873, Mrs. Adelaide Talbot, a half- niece of Doctor Thornton, presented to the Patent Office a portrait of him by Gilbert St uart. It hangs in a place of honor in the Commissioner’s room. Doctor Thornton is buried in the Congressional Cemetery, under a tomb similar in form to those erected to Senators and Representatives. The President of the United States, members of the cabinet and of Congress, followed his body to the grave. On his tomb is chiseled this motto, “Deo Spes Meo.” Rd rR Memorial Tablet—Commemorating One Hundred Years of Peace with Great Britain Facsimile of the Ratification of the Treaty of Ghent : Signed in the Octagon i Fix ares $i ‘ J? - - og shown: 100 ——= © =r 3 1a 2 “oo fealk:..
