Discussion at Last Meeting of Oldest Inhabitants
Statement by Mr. James Croggon and Others
Representing Pennsylvania Avenue Structures

…The building now being demolished was after Strothers gave it up, kept by Williamson, and about 1830 by the Fullers.

Conducted a Stage Line

Azariah Fuller first engaged in running a stage line between this city and Baltimore, having his residence in a two-story brick on 14th street north of the buildings used as a hotel.

The hotel consisted of several brick buildings whose alls were pierced, turning them into one, the center one being used as the office, and they were erected by Col. John Tayloe, father of Col. B. Ogle Tayloe, the first president of the Oldest Inhabitants.

Mr. Allison Nailor, taking part in the discussion, said he had heard of Fuller in both places, and he remembered Gallabrun, John Hands, Daniel Rowland and Coburn as having been at the Mansion House, remarking that some high-toned people patronized the house.

Mr. Croggon said the Fullers were at the 14th street corner till 1836, when, the Post Office Department having been burned out, the government leased the building for a year or two, the Fullers going up to the Mansion House and returning to 14th street in time to entertain Charles Dickens in 1839. The Fullers remained here till 1847, when the Willards came, the house under their name being opened in October of that year with a dinner at which were some of the most prominent men of the nation.
