HOUSE OF THE WEEK | A plaque on the circa 1795 house claims it was once the Yellow Tavern and later the White Horse Inn. In fact, the tavern was a block away.
Georgetown house | The circa 1795 house probably started as two houses with an alleyway between them. At some point, the houses were joined. It is listed at just under $4 million.
If the tavern was not on 33rd Street, how did the house come to have the plaque? It seems that Mrs. Sydney Small, who owned the house, wanted to enhance its prestige, so she persuaded her friend Mrs. Freeland Peter to commission the plaque. “Knowing that this marker is incorrect, I feel duty-bound to attempt to straighten out the error, including my personal responsibility in the matter,” Templeman wrote. “I believe we should retrieve the plaque and have it destroyed.”
