[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently L'enfant didn't just order that the house be torn down, but actually went there and started helped tear the place down. L'enfant spent the last years of his life living as the guest of an estate owner (whose name escapes me) in Bladensburg. The wife of the estate owner was one of Daniel Carroll's daughters. Life is funny sometimes. Charles Carroll of Duddington/Carrollsburg owner most of what is SW and Capitol Riverfront. Hence all the stuff named Carrollsburg. Okay, local history geek time over.[/quote] [b]By "servants quarters," did you mean "slave quarters"?[/b][/quote] Ha, that was my thought to (directed not at PP, but whoever wrote the account).[/quote] DP: Probably. He was a huge slave owner and slave trader and likely used some of the slave to at least build and maintain his city estate. [/quote]
