Admiral George Dewey's House, between 1910 and 1920: A Gift of Appreciation from the American People This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, captures the exterior of Admiral George Dewey's house located at 1747 Rhode Island Avenue in the District of Columbia. The house was a controversial gift to the esteemed US Navy officer, as the funds for its construction were raised through a public subscription. The image shows the house under construction, with workers and machinery visible in the foreground. The two-story brick building, adorned with columns and a grand entrance, stands proudly against the backdrop of the city. The house was a symbol of appreciation from the American people to their hero, who had gained renown for his victory in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The controversy surrounding the public subscription arose due to the large sum of money collected, estimated to be around $150,000 in today's currency. Some criticized the use of public funds for a private residence, while others saw it as a fitting tribute to a man who had served his country with distinction. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring admiration and gratitude the American people held for their military heroes. The house, which still stands today, remains a significant piece of American heritage and a reminder of the country's rich history.
