More than a hundred years later, the Rainier Chapter of the DAR is still going strong. They have a chapter house on Capitol Hill that’s a replica of Washington’s Mount Vernon, Virginia home.
that’s a replica of Washington’s Mount Vernon, Virginia home. They meet every month, and they’ve also been commemorating George Washington with special ceremonies at the statue around Washington’s birthday every year since 1910 – without interruption – including during World War II.
Sitting on a bench near the statue earlier this week, Langton described the twists and turns that Edmond Meany and the DAR members faced as they worked to raise money for the statue and to make sure it was ready in time for the AYPE. Langton says that the statue has been in its current location since the late 1930s, but it moved around campus quite a bit in the years before that. And, in spite of objections from artist Lorado Taft, it also stood on shorter and more flimsy pedestals, and sometimes even right on the flat and muddy ground.
“These are Lorado Taft’s own words about why he wanted to make this sculpture, and it is just perfect, it’s spot on,” Langton said, before reading aloud a quote from Taft about the Washington statue.
