EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, showcases the exquisite fireplace at the Mary Scott Townsend house located on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C. The Townsend house, now the Cosmos Club at 2121 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., was a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture and was later home to Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells. The photograph reveals the intricately decorated fireplace with its ornate mantel and overmantel, which is adorned with gilded detailing. The fireplace, a focal point of the drawing room, exudes an aura of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the opulence of the early 20th century. The room, filled with rich colors and textures, is a testament to the grandeur of the era and the meticulous interior design of the time. The Townsend house, built by Carrère and Hastings, was a significant structure on Congressional Library's list of historic buildings in the United States. The photograph, taken during the 1900-1920 period, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of Washington, D.C. and the United States. The fireplace, with its decorative elements, is a reminder of the heritage art and interior design that once graced the homes of the elite in America's capital city.
