EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, showcases the stunning lobby of the Mary Scott Townsend House located at 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The Townsend House, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece designed by the esteemed architectural firm Carrère and Hastings, was originally the residence of Mary Scott Townsend. Later in the 1950s, it became the property of the Cosmos Club. The image reveals an inviting entrance hall adorned with a grand fireplace, adding a cozy and welcoming touch to the stately space. The blue and cyan hues of the monochrome print enhance the calming atmosphere of the room, while the ornate furniture and decorative details further highlight the elegance and sophistication of the era. The Townsend House, situated on Embassy Row, was a significant architectural landmark in Washington, D.C. During the 1900s and 1910s, it was a symbol of the country's rich heritage and historical significance. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, serves as a testament to the grandeur and beauty of a bygone era in American history. The Library of Congress holds this cyanotype print in its vast collection, a reminder of the architectural and historical treasures that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
