Prominent Men Back Plan to Save Doric Columns in Potomac Park
George Oakley Totten drafts a design to erect the two Doric columns from the Treasury building east side. Martin McNamara, owners, favors preserving them in Potomac Park rather than crushing for paving stone. Local associations and the Washington Society of Fine Arts back placing the relics in the park, with Totten and McNamara supporting placement on the Potomac boundary or within the park for public benefit.
