The Davis bail bond that freed a president toppled the Hall's standing
This episode explores the curious case of the Confederate Memorial Hall, a building in Washington D.C. that for decades housed Confederate artifacts and celebrated the Lost Cause. It delves into how this institution operated just blocks from the White House and the eventual legal actions taken against it.
Person: John Edward Hurley
Location: Washington D.C.
Date: 1997
Event: Federal court ordered building seized
Status: Accumulated $500,000 in contempt fines
- The Confederate Memorial Association established the building after the Civil War as a residence for aging veterans.
- In 1919, the building was formally converted into Confederate Memorial Hall, serving as a library, museum, and social club.
- The Hall displayed portraits of Confederate figures, a marble bust of Robert E. Lee, battle flags, and the Jefferson Davis bail bond.
- John Edward Hurley became the Association president in the 1980s and revived the Hall, organizing white tie balls and fox hunts.
- The institution claimed thousands of members, but records suggested John Edward Hurley was the sole active member.
