EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1910 and 1911, offers a glimpse into the past of the historic Mary Scott Townsend house located on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C., which later became the home of Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells and is now the Cosmos Club. The image showcases the grandeur of the stair hall with its impressive staircase, adorned with intricate carving and ornate balustrades. The decorative fireplace, with its elegant mantelpiece and sculpture, adds to the opulence of the space. The room is further furnished with a pier table and console table, their sleek lines and simple design providing a beautiful contrast to the ornate architecture. The Beaux-Arts style of the Townsend house, designed by the renowned architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings, is evident in the use of classical columns and pillars, which add to the grandeur of the entrance hall. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich architectural and historical heritage of Washington, D.C. and the United States during the early 20th century. The Townsend house, located on Embassy Row, was a symbol of the country's wealth and sophistication during this era. The photograph captures the essence of the interior design and decoration of the time, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a glimpse into the history and heritage of Washington, D.C. and the United States.
