EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, showcases the elegant interior of the Mary Scott Townsend House located at 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The Beaux-Arts style mansion, designed by the esteemed architectural firm Carrère and Hastings, was originally built for Mary Scott Townsend, a prominent socialite and philanthropist. The image reveals the grandeur of the dining room, with its ornate blue and faded walls, intricately carved wooden chairs, and a large table adorned with elegant table settings. The room exudes an air of sophistication and refinement, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. The Townsend House, also known as the "Embassy Row," was later purchased by Mathilde and Sumner Welles in the 1930s and served as their residence. In 1950, the Cosmos Club acquired the property, transforming it into a prestigious social and cultural institution. This photograph is an exquisite example of Johnston's mastery of the cyanotype process, a photographic printing technique that produces a distinctive blue color. The monochrome image, with its faded tones, adds to the timeless quality of the photograph and the historic charm of the Townsend House. As a significant piece of American architectural and social history, this photograph is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the heritage and art of the early 20th century. The Mary Scott Townsend House stands as a testament to the grandeur and elegance of Washington, D.C.'s past and continues to inspire and captivate us with its timeless beauty.
