Nope, but you are correct that it's at the Fort McNair Officers Club.

Mark Neely??

You got it, Laurie. Kudos.
Betty is a winner, too, for identifying Ed Steers.
You both win free early bird senior (55+) specials at Gautier's Restaurant.

Roger, are you an old-time radio fan?!?!? When I worked at Nasdaq, the only way I endured the one-hour commute was by listening to old radio shows!!! I love them!

We're going to need the Wayback Machine to get to Gautier's today. It once stood at 252 Pennsylvania Avenue; but they've changed the street addresses, and I'm not sure what stands there now.
Brady's Studio was at 352 Pennsylvania Avenue at that time, but I think the numbers got lower as you went uptown. Brady's building still stands and it's in the 600 block, I think, under the new numbering system.
Gautier's may have been where the huge FBI headquarters are now?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Jim Page - 12-02-2012 07:32 PM
When I was forced to start my own graphics company in the 1990s, I tried talking my then-partners into leasing that building (625-627 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.) where Brady's studio had been in DC.
They couldn't see it and we ended up in Temple Hills on Branch Avenue.

What was the most famous Christmas present that Mr. Lincoln ever received?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 12-04-2012 02:25 PM
Savannah?
Best
Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 12-04-2012 02:57 PM
The elk horn chair from Seth ______.? Kinman, I think.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 12-04-2012 04:19 PM
Rob: I agree-Savannah!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 12-04-2012 04:36 PM
Rob and Bill get to split the prize (if we every figure out what it is). I've never seen a photo of the elk horn chair. Is it as ugly as other horn chairs I've seen?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 12-04-2012 06:53 PM
OMG, really ugly - but I do like the table it's sitting on. The chair looks dangerous to me. A friend's family once owned a beautiful ca. 1780 home in Clinton. The father envisioned himself another Lyndon Johnson in his love of all things Texan - even though he lived all of his life in Maryland.
The house is unique in that one wing of it was a Catholic chapel with an adjoining bedroom for visiting priests in the early days of our country. The bedroom had a predo (I think that's what you call the kneeling desk used by priests?) at the foot of the bed, but in a far corner was a horn chair that was almost as ugly as this Kinman one. Even assuming that a priest gets special protection from above, it would not have been me that wanted to sleep in that room with that chair.
