EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, showcases the elegant library of the Mary Scott Townsend house located on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. The Beaux-Arts style mansion, later home to Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells, now serves as the Cosmos Club, is a stunning embodiment of early 20th-century architectural grandeur. The library, with its ornate fireplace, is a testament to the opulence of the era. The fireplace, adorned with intricate carvings, stands as a focal point of the room. The coffered ceiling, a distinctive architectural feature, adds to the room's grandeur, while the decorative moldings and paneled walls add to the room's sense of history and heritage. The library is furnished with comfortable chairs and a large, wooden desk, inviting one to sit and pore over the numerous books that line the shelves. The room is further enhanced by the presence of paintings on the walls, adding a touch of color and personality to the space. The Mary Scott Townsend house, located on Embassy Row, was designed by the esteemed architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings and was a popular gathering place for the city's elite. This photograph, taken during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history and architectural heritage of Washington, D.C.
