A D. C. Once Georgetown Suburb Washingtonians who ride the Friendship Heights street car up and down Wisconsin avenue may not be aware that once there was a sign at the corner of Wisconsin and N street which read, “Change here for Washington, George town's Largest Suburb.” Originally the site of an In dian village, Georgetown was once in Maryland and was founded only three years after Alexandria. The little town of George town first capie into promi nence in 1790 when Congress, weary of moving the Capital and changing plans for its lo cation. decided upon a site on the Potomac. Work on the Federal City began in 1792. During its building Govern ment officials resided in Georgetown as many of them do today. Many of these historic houses which date back to the Federal Period in architecture will be open Friday and Satur day, April 1 and 2, between 2 and 6 p.m., for the annual Georgetown House Tour. Included in the list of houses open are * those of Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Talbot, Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Hook, Jr.; Mr. and Mrs. James H. Doug las and Senator and Mrs. Stu art Symington.

Tea will be served in the Parish Hall of St. John’s both afternoons of the tour between 3 and 6 p.m. This second oldest Episcopal Church in Washington which has, for 31 years sponsored the Georgetown House Tour, was established in 1796. Thomas Jefferson was a sub scriber to the building funl and both Francis Scott Key and his uncle, Philip Barton Key were vestrymen. An old writer tells us that back in 1811 the church “was thronged with all who were most elevated in station with wealth. . . . the street before the church filled with glitter ing vehicles and liveried ser vants.” On Friday evening April 1 between 7 and 10 p.m., historic Prospect House, Thurmond Chatham’s home (formerly the residence of the late Secretary of Defense James Forrestal) will be open for a candlelight tour.
