NO. 13-D "White House of the Confederacy"
(Twelfth and Clay Sts.) Richmond, Va.
Formerly a private residence, it was purchased in
1862 by the City of Richmond for the use of the Confeder-
ate government, and occupied during the war by President
Davis and his family. Here his daughter "Winnie" was
born, and here his little son Joe was killed by a fall from
the rear porch. It was visited by Abraham Lincoln a few
days after the evacuation. It is now a Confederate Mu-
seum, each of the 13 Confederate States
having in it a
memorial room. In front of the mansion is the propeller
shaft of the **Merrimac”, whose famous engagement with
the Monitor" revolutionized naval war-fare the world over.
