EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1910s, showcases the elegant facade of the Mary Scott Townsend house located at 2121 Massachusetts Ave. N.W. in Washington, D.C. The Townsend house, a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture, was designed by the esteemed firm of Carrère and Hastings and was originally built for Mary Scott Townsend. At the turn of the 20th century, this grand residence was a prominent feature of Embassy Row, a prestigious neighborhood in the nation's capital. The Townsend house, with its imposing entrance, ornate windows, and intricate detailing, exuded an air of sophistication and opulence. Over the years, the house passed through various hands and was later home to Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells. Today, it is known as the Cosmos Club, a prestigious social and cultural organization that continues to serve the Washington, D.C. community. This photograph, a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the United States, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the beauty and grandeur of Washington, D.C.'s historic buildings. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photographs or those interested in American history and architecture.
