Description of Pictures: A fitting ending to a wonderful day! The U.S. Capitol Historical Society and The University of Aberdeen invite you to an evening reception at historic Tudor Place. We'll continue our encounter with the life and times of William Thornton at one of the distinctive homes he designed. After docent-led tours of the main house, we'll move on to the Dower House to enjoy a festive reception. (We will also mark St. Andrew's Day with the proverbial wee dram, courtesy of The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky!)
Whether or not you are able to join us for the morning symposium, you are warmly invited to join us for this memorable after-hours tour and reception. Substantial hors d'oeuvres will be offered.

About Tudor Place:
Tudor Place, one of America’s first National Historic Landmarks, was built by a granddaughter of Martha Washington and a son of Robert Peter, a prominent Scottish-born merchant and landowner and Georgetown’s first mayor. Thomas and Martha Custis Peter purchased 8½ acres of farmland on Georgetown Heights.
Dr. William Thornton, a family friend, designed the grand neoclassical house, which was completed in 1816. The estate remained under continuous Peter family ownership through six generations spanning 178 years.
In 1983, Armistead Peter III, the founders’ great-great-grandson died, and Tudor opened as a museum in 1988 in accordance with his wishes. Now a historic house and garden museum, it remains one of the nation’s few historic urban estates retaining the majority of its original landscape.

The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky:
The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts produced in Scotland’s Speyside region by the world’s longest serving Malt Master, David C. Stewart MBE. Each single malt has a very individual taste, while also underpinned by the distinctively honeyed and rich character of The Balvenie.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
