    3. On February 8, 1913, an announcement was made of plans to build a milk processing plant on West All Saints Street that would require the demolition of the tavern building where Col. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin met with British General Edward Braddock to plan the British assault on Fort Duquesne in 1755. It is not clear from the available records whether or not the three famous men met at the tavern together. It is known that Washington and Franklin did met with Braddock at the tavern, but current information is that it wasn't at the same time. If anyone can add information to these History Moments, or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day, please contact me privately. John W. Ashbury (wasps65@earthlink.net)
