I have been doing research on the "mock" funeral procession in New York to
commemorate George Washington's death.
The New York State Masons had a parade to pay honor to their brother Mason
Washington. I have not come upon anything
that mentioned draping or crape, but will look into it more and if I find
anything will let you know.

At Washington's HQ, Tappan, NY, we will honor General Washington on
Saturday, 18 Dec with a reenactiment of the Mason's ceremony. I do not think
you would be out of place at all to drape your older and official buildings.
We will certainly drape the De Wint House and pictures of His Excellency in
the headquarters. In fact, every historic site with a picture should
do this. It would draw attention to GW - he who is no more - and the
bicentennial of his death.
