*Jacob Ege, German tailor, the builder of the "old Stone House," at the northeast corner of Main and Nineteenth streets, built of rub- ble stone, evidently boulders from James river. Jacob Ege was the owner of a lot in the plan of Richmond by Wm. Byrd, in 1736. The house is the oldest standing in the city. It is erroneously stated that it was once the headquarters of Washington; a ludicrous assumption, in that Washington at no time during the Revolution had his head- quarters in Richmond, nor is it known that he was here at all in the period; further, the structure originally comprised only two rooms, with contracted attic, in which the family of the owner had not over- ample housing. Indeed, had Washington with his staff been in the vicinity, the owners of spacious mansions in the neighboring coun- try would have felt themselves privileged in entertaining him.
