Papers of the Continental Congress Letters, 1. 78, vol. XTV, p. 677. L'ENFANT AND THE FEDERAL CITY 155 caused a "testimonial" to be officially presented to L'Enfant, highly praising his work: "While the hall exists it will exhibit a most respectable monument of your eminent talents, as well as of the munificence of the citizens. " 1 L'Enfant re- ceived "the freedom of the city" by "special honorifick patent, " as he wrote later, and he was, moreover, offered ten acres of land near Provost Lane,... "which latter he politely declined. " 2 The building won general admiration for its noble appearance, the tasteful brilliancy of its ornamentation, and its commodious internal ar- rangements. The only objections came from the Anti-Federalists, who called it the "Fools' Trap, " in which appellation politics had, obviously, more to do than architecture. L'Enfant, a man of ideas, had tried to make of the renovated hall something characteristically American, if not in the general style, which was classical, at least in many details.
