Some, but few, of the members of this sect also held leaseholds on the north and south of this area as well as in Fairhope itself. A minority held land east of Highway 181 between Gayfer and Highway 48. These lands were relatively flat, had limited amounts of top soil but were suitable for some types of farming. The Quakers had arrived in this area sometime after 1900. They migrated here, coming mainly from the states of Indiana, Ohio and Iowa. Most of them willingly became Single Taxers. Some came for the colony’s offering of inexpensive land access. Some of them became ardent advocates of Single Tax economic philosophy. This was because it seemed to be in harmony with their own Christian religious ideals. (The Reuben Rockwell family became consistently strong supporters of Single Tax principles.) Almost all of them originally were farmers and continued to be farmers. However, several took up other business occupations and residence even in Fairhope itself.

  • THE WORLD of LAFAYETTE SQUARE Sites Around the Square
    THE WORLD OF LAFAYETTE SQUARE Lafayette Square is a seven-acre public park located directly north of the White House on H Street between 15th and 17th Streets, NW. The Square and the surrounding structures were designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1970. Originally planned as part of the pleasure grounds surrounding the Executive Mansion, the area was called "President's Park". The Square was separated from the White House grounds in 1804 when President Jefferson had Pennsylvania cut through. In 1824, the Square was officially named in honor of General Lafayette of France. A barren common, it was neglected for many years. A race course was laid out along its west side in 1797, and workmen's quarters were thrown up on it during the construction of the White House in the 1790s. A market occupied the site later and, during the War of 1812, soldiers were encamped there. Lafayette Park has been used as a zoo, a slave market, and for many political protests and celebrations. The surrounding neighborhood became the city's most fashionable 19th century residential address. Andrew Jackson Downing landscaped Lafayette Square in 1851 in the picturesque style. (www.nps.gov) Historian and novelist Henry Adams on Washington, D.C. 1868: “La Fayette Square was society . one found all one’s acquaintances as well as hotels, banks, markets, and national government. Beyond the Square the country began. No rich or fashionable stranger had yet discovered the town. No literary of scientific man, no artist, no gentleman without office or employment has ever lived there.

  • ~ 1 ~ the EMBASSY PRESENCE in WASHINGTON, D.C. Priscilla R. Linn
    Living in Washington, D.C. Embassies photo THE EMBASSY PRESENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Priscilla R. Linn May 29, 2014 Finding embassies on a map of Washington, D.C. is a relatively straightforward task. They lie in northwest quadrant of one of the smallest capitals in the world, often lining up along (or close to) the avenues that city planner Pierre L’Enfant drew up over 200 years ago. Other locations in Washington, D.C. could, in principle, welcome many foreign missions. Reasons for the concentration of embassies in Washington hinge on the need to be close to the White House, U.S. Department of State, Congress, and international organizations. Embassies also desire a location in a prestigious neighborhood that can enhance both national identity and standing among nations in the international community. Essential diplomatic terms Since diplomacy often requires a specific vocabulary, this essay will clarify the meaning of several words used here. The Diplomat’s Dictionary defines the word “embassy” as: “The residence of an ambassador.” The Dictionary states that in loose, contemporary usage, the word “embassy” also refers to the office building of the ambassador and his senior staff. For clarity, this essay follows the “loose contemporary usage” for “embassy,” and does not ~ 1 ~ Map from National Area Planning Commission report, Foreign Missions and International Organizations in Washington, D.C. http://www.ncpc.gov/DocumentDepot/Publications/ForeignMissions/Foreign_Missions_Overview.pdf (accessed May 15, 2014) ~ 2 ~ include ambassadors’ residences in the discussion. An embassy also encompasses the diplomatic corps that conducts foreign affairs from the embassy building. People refer to the embassy office building as a “chancery,” where an ambassador and his principal staff conduct diplomatic business.
