4.9/5 (30427 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Historic Corner: In a Historic City Although but a century old, the small green parallelogram between the White House and the Arlington Hotel has undeniably the most interesting history of any locality in the united States. At the time of the Revolution it was an insignificant part of David Burns's farm, but in 1790, when President Washington selected the site for the Executive Mansion, he defined the boundaries of Lafayette Park opposite - even thus early giving to it the name of his illustrious friend. Long before the British soldiers tramped over it on their way to burn the White House in 1814, the political grandees of the land had begun to build their homes around this little park, and in every succeeding decade the most famous leaders in Cabinet and Senate, in war and diplomacy, have ranged themselves upon its border.
