President James A. Garfield

127 years ago today, the 20th president of the United States and our resident ghost, James A. Garfield, died of wounds inflicted by an assassin.

Our resident ghost?

Yes, we discovered back in 2004 that Garfield, while a member of the House of Representatives, built a three-story brick home on the northeast corner of 13th and I Streets in Northwest Washington. More specifically, Bob Dawson’s desk in D&A’s second-floor suite at 1225 I Street sits about where Garfield had an upstairs office.

So today, we remember our “colleague” President James A. Garfield on this, the date of his death.
