EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the elegant interior of the Mary Scott Townsend house located on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C. The image showcases the library of this historic residence, which later became the home of Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells and is now known as the Cosmos Club at 2121 Massachusetts Ave. N.W. The library, adorned with Beaux-Arts architecture, is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the early 20th century. The room is furnished with ornate pieces, including a decorative fireplace, animal hide rug, and a settee upholstered in animal skin. The walls are adorned with paintings, adding to the room's rich character. The Carrere and Hastings design is evident in the intricate ceiling details, which complement the overall aesthetic of the space. The library serves as a quiet retreat, inviting one to sit and read among the stacks of books that line the shelves. The room's classic design, with its high ceilings, large windows, and ornate details, remains a testament to the grandeur of the past. This photograph offers a glimpse into the heritage art and interior design of the early 1900s, providing a window into a bygone era.
