Little Green House on K Street

The Little Green House on K Street was a residence at 1625 K Street, NW, in Washington, DC, USA, that served as the unofficial headquarters of the Ohio Gang during the Presidential Administration of Warren G. Harding.〔"Mannington is Mystery Man in Mystery House," ''Chicago Daily Tribune'', March 23, 1924〕 The name itself entered the American lexicon as a symbol of political corruption.〔"The Little Green House Loses Its Secretiveness", ''The New York Times'', September 2, 1931〕 The ''Chicago Tribune'' described the home as one of "the symbols of a nation's disgrace."〔What Sacrifice, Mr. Willkie? ''Chicago Tribune'', Oct 1, 1940〕 The house was the site of the planning for what became known as the Teapot Dome Scandal.〔Davis, Hilda Emery; and Davis, Garry. ("Letters to World Citizens" ), p. 50. World Government House, 2004. ISBN 0-9706483-7-5. Accessed October 12, 2009.〕〔McCartney, Laton. ("The Teapot Dome Scandal: How Big Oil Bought the Harding White House and Tried to Steal the Country" ), p. 72. Random House, 2009. ISBN 0-8129-7337-2. Accessed October 12, 2009.〕
== History ==
The house was constructed by J. B. Edmonds of Iowa, a retired attorney, in 1880 for US$17,000.
During the early 1920s, it was rented by associates of Attorney General Harry Daugherty, including Jess Smith and Howard Mannington, and served as the location for numerous Presidential poker parties.〔Wolcott Gibbs, Comment, The New Yorker, October 12, 1940〕 Many of the corrupt deals of Harding's associates were allegedly hatched there, according to testimony before the Senate Committee investigating the Teapot Dome Scandal.〔New Light Shed on Deals of New York Liquor Rings, ''Los Angeles Times'', March 22, 1924〕
The building was razed in 1941 to make way for the 12-story Commonwealth Building.〔Boese, Kent. ("Lost Washington: The Little Green House" ), Greater Greater Washington. Accessed October 12, 2009.〕
