you would have heard of but benjamin franklin was a guest here john adams and abigail adams the marquisita lafayette marquis again to shuttle you of course and our beloved george and martha washington who did end up becoming very close friends with the pals. and they actually lived and we've kind of believe that they probably first they might have known each other earlier, but they probably started to developing a friendship around the 1780s when washington lived next door to the powerhouse. um sandwich you like to talk a little bit more about the washington's relationship with the past. absolutely kayla. thank you. so as kayla said they lived next door. the washington's lived next door to the powells in 1781 to 1782 and this image is actually from 1,800. it is a a engraving of a the third street and it's done by an artist named william birch and the powell house itself is in just in the background and the house that the washington's rented was right next door to that. and so they were there for just a few months but during those few months i think is really when they started to develop a close friendship and kayla's right. everyone was going through the hell
