The Lindens Washington

This is the oldest house in Washington
At 2401 Kalorama Road ,an elegant Georgian
frame house , but not from here at all ! It was
built in 1754 in Danvers, Massachusetts by
Robert "King" hooper , a wealthy merchant.

The Lindens once sheltered General Thomas
Gage, that colony's last British governor.As
the American Revolution drew near in 1774, the
beleaguered Gage took shelter there. George
and Miriam Morris purchased the house in
1934.It was moved here in six railroad cars
and reassembled under the supervision of
Walter Macomber in 1935.

I wonder why they moved it ?
Oh,' and that 's my old friend
from Bahrain that I met up
with
