1625 K Street | The Little Green House on K Street

The Little Green House on K Street was a residence at 1625 K Street, Northwest, Washington, DC where the notoriously corrupt deals of Harding Administration are believed to have been planned between 1921 and 1923.

The Little Green House on K Street was constructed in 1880 by a retired attorney, J. B. Edmonds of Iowa.

The house was rented by associates of President Harding's Attorney General Harry Daugherty, including Jess Smith and Howard Mannington, known as the Ohio Gang. 

 According to testimony before the Senate Committee investigating the Teapot Dome bribery scandal, it was the gang's unofficial headquarters, where many of the deals were hatched. The testimony before the Senate Committee broke down when the key witness, Roxie Stinson, admitted before the committee that she had never even seen the "little green house". The investigation was further undermined when the other key witness, Gaston Means, retracted his entire testimony in an affidavit. He admitted to jointly coaching Stinson in her testimony along with Senator Burton Wheeler.

The building was razed in 1941 to make way for the 12-story Commonwealth Building.
