Washington Letter on Washington’s Fourth of March Festivities
Washington in February details the exclusive dedication ceremonies for a major monument on February 21 in the House, with 1600 seats reserved for Congress members and guests. It notes street vendors selling commemorative trinkets, limited Mount Vernon visits due to weather, Masonry involvement, inflated event rents along Pennsylvania Avenue, and a lavish inaugural ball planned in the Pension Office courtyard with four bands and 4000 capacity.
