What reading level is Mount Vernon, Washington's Home And the Nation's Shrine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I wanted so much to get the windows finished in the Pediment that I might have the garrett passage plastered and cleared out before Mrs. Washing- ton's return. Besides this the scaffolding in the front of the house cannot be taken away before it is finished.
This prevents me from putting up the steps to the great front door." r At this time, 1778, instead of after the war as gener- (ally stated, the mansion was raised to the extended pro- i portions in which it has ever since been so familiar, ...and the curved and colonnaded covered ways now rose to connect the big house with the nearest of the many little houses. To this time, too, may doubtless be attributed the lofty portico extending the length of the river side of the mansion, for so shortly after his return after the war as to have made it impracticable for him to have built it at that time, Washington ordered new stone flagging and dug up the old pavement and laid the new.
The traditions which cluster about the old house in- 142 MOUNT VERNON elude among the improvements made early in the war, the removal of the partition in the main passage or hall, thus making one extended hall from front to front, and the installation of the panelling of the new big hall as it has since remained.
