There was supposedly an underground passage that led out to the nearby Potomac. The Pan American Union building and Constitution Hall now stand where the mansion once stood.

Oops, I apologize for giving you bad information. Virginia Lomax did not write Leaves from an Old Washington Diary. That was written by Elizabeth Lindsay Lomax (maybe of the generation before Virginia's??).
