Liquidation Sale at Decatur House
Posted on Tuesday, August 3, 2010, at 3:30 pm, by Alethea Oglethorpe.
Alas, despite its popularity with White House staffers and other office workers in its vicinity, the Stephen Decatur House Museum Shop is not to survive the Museum’s conversion to a National Center for White House History, announced in January. The shop is therefore currently liquidating its entire inventory at highly favorable prices. By now little remains of its once impressive stock of Archelaus cards, but the intelligent bargain hunter can acquire the few it has left for just a dollar apiece.
