Hello all, I am looking for a marriage record circa 1917 of my grandparents Lawrence Emmett Lewis and Agnes Theresa McNulty. Lawrence was born in D.C. and Agnes in Baltimore. They would most likely have been married in D.C. since they both resided there at that time. I had sent to the D.C. vital records office a few years ago and they turned up nothing. Thank you for any help. Best, Sally Andrews Gudas On Nov 3, 2007, at 11:56 PM, Emaress Nova wrote:

Sue: Sorry, I noticed my mistake later. I also noticed that your cousins's daughter-in-law only uses her own photos, but I'm sure wouldn't mind some historical ones, but the areas I was thinking off are more into the Southeast area and it looks like the site is more toward the Southwest area. I'm also sure she has scoured the Library of Congress' online historical archives for photos which they have a ton of.

Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: William Boswell To: washingtondc@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 10:00 PM Subject: Re: [WashDC] URL That's a wonderful website! I didn't know they were tearing down Waterside Mall. I used to go eat there many times when I worked at the Department of Transportation from 1975-1990. Even back then they were doing construction and it looked to be in sad shape. There's also a Metro Stop out back (or front) of it which I think was the Green line. I've been away from DC since 2002 so I can't remember. My father inherited property on D Street Southeast, but sold it in 2001. It doesn't have the same glamour or historic elegance it had before that time. Even the English gardens surrounding it were destroyed by people with no interest in the value of history. Unfortunately, I think my father made a bad decision in selling it even though the taxes were high. He owned four row houses including the one he lived in. The other three were rented out (one building was a two-tenant building; the other two buildings housed six tenants), but DC's rent ceiling prevented him from increasing rents even though most of the tenants were either Congressmen/women, diplomats, or people who worked on the Hill. I don't know what Southeast is today, but back in the early 1970's I found a part of history almost stuck in time. I liked being a part of something that others enjoyed over 100 years before. I had spent a great deal of time in my Great Uncle Curley's house assisting him with his affairs and taking care of my great aunt who was bedridden. It was from those relationships that I began to discover the importance of family history. Many ancestors of mine worked at the Navy Yard and lived in the near vicinity. I'll have to look through my historic photo archive to see if I have anything that may be of interest for your daughter-in-law to use. My Great Uncle Curley Boswell and his brother, Ceylon T. Boswell, restored a number of houses on Capitol Hill. I have a notebook of articles and original negatives of these, but may not be so interesting to list. I also have negatives of the houses that used to be on D Street before the parking garages were built. I believe all of the houses were torn down in the 1950's. Many were quite beautiful. Sorry for rambling. I'm going to bookmark your daughter-in-law's site because I think it has historical value.
