ROBERT HUFFSTUTTER says: According to information gathered from Flickr members, this is the hotel where General MacArthur and his family resided when ordered to command from Australia. President Roosevelt ordered the General to the safety of Australia until such time he could command in safe headquarters and fulfill his promise to "return."

During the Spanish-American War, Ensign MacArthur served aboard the steam yacht USS Vixen (PY-4) in the Battle of Santiago. He later participated in naval operations during the Philippine-American War and the Boxer Rebellion. In 1901, he married Mary H. McCalla (1877–1959), the daughter of Rear Admiral Bowman H. McCalla. They had five children, Arthur (who died young), Bowman McCalla, Douglas (named in honor of his brother), Mary Elizabeth, Malcolm. MacArthur commanded submarine USS Grampus (SS-4), destroyer USS McCall (DD-28), minelayer USS San Francisco (CM-2), armored cruiser USS South Dakota (ACR-9) and light cruiser USS Chattanooga (CL-18). For distinguished work in protecting convoys from U-boats engaged in the Atlantic U-boat Campaign during 1918, he was awarded the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal and was promoted to Captain. MacArthur was a hereditary member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States by right of his father having served as a Union officer in the Civil War. Captain MacArthur died in Washington, D.C. of appendicitis in 1923, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery near his parents

ROBERT HUFFSTUTTER says: He is alone here, but in glory, he is very much alive and enjoying his life. That is, of course, just my opinion. He is among my favorite American military men. Thank you for sharing this photograph.
