During a recent renovation to one of the Visiting Flag Officer Quarters buildings adjacent to the Latrobe Gate at the Washington Navy Yard, a discovery of early 20th century history was made. Artifacts included two hats, three gloves, multiple whiskey bottles, a pair of boots, a rolled up two-dollar bill, a tobacco pouch, and 1909 stamps. Some of this material is still being retrieved, and plans for its display are still uncertain.
