I wonder if some of these from the "Arlington" hotel were actually from Arlington, VA? Arlington used to be part of the District before 1847. It's impossible to search for the answer, too many Arlington hotel results.
- luckylion 7y agoIf you search on google books, you'll find more relevant results, including the official congressional directory where Arlington Hotel is listed as the residence of multiple persons along other names such as National Hotel, Metropolitan Hotel, and Washington House. https://www.loc.gov/item/96503316/ https://www.loc.gov/item/96503316/ mentions The Arlington as a location in Washington D.C., published between 1882 and 1900.

I was born in DC more than 70 years after said hotel was demolished, however, I can recognize by the way they write that "The Arlington" (always appearing with an article) is presumably a place in the District. No one would presume that kind of social crowd to be in Virginia, especially the further you go back in time. Googling around I found a claim that it was on the current site of the Veterans Affairs offices, which would put it on Vermont Ave NW near I St.
