The site of the Equity building on the east side of John Marshall Place is where two houses once stood which were built by WWG White in 1852. One of them was the home of Mr White and the other that of Mr Richard S Coxe for about ten years prior to his death in 1864.
Mr Coxe who came to Washington from New Jersey in 1820 was a very prominent lawyer of that period and in his earlier years was a law partner of Horace Binney.

Death of Richard S. Coxe.
Richard Smith Coxe, favorably known to the legal profession throughout the country, died this morning about six o'clock of chronic diarrhea, from which he had suffered several months.
He was born in Burlington, N.J., graduated at Harvard in the same class with Judge Wayne of the U.S. Supreme Court, and studied law with Horace Binney of Philadelphia. Coming to Washington in 1822, he was soon recognized among the leading members of the District Bar, and the Supreme Court of the U.S., intimately associating with Gen. Jones, Pinckney of Maryland, Webster and other distinguished men.
At the commencement of the rebellion he took a decided stand in favor of the Union and throughout the contest ably supported the Government. Death has removed him at the age of 72, from a large circle of valued friends, and deprived the legal profession of one of its most eminent members. His funeral will take place on Sunday next, at four o'clock, p.m.
