EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, showcases the breathtaking interior of the Mary Scott Townsend house located on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. The image captures the grandeur of the stair hall with its impressive staircase, ornate fireplace, and exquisite furniture and sculpture. The Townsend house, designed by the esteemed architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings, was later home to Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells. The building, now known as the Cosmos Club, is a testament to the Beaux-Arts architectural style that was popular during the early 20th century in the United States. The photograph transports us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. The intricately carved marble pillars and columns frame the entrance to the stairway, leading us up to the next level. The console table and pier table, adorned with decorative objects, add to the opulence of the space. The sculpture, placed strategically in the foreground, adds a touch of sophistication and artistry to the scene. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historic American interiors, and a reminder of the rich architectural heritage of Washington, D.C. The Mary Scott Townsend house, with its grand staircase and elegant furnishings, stands as a testament to the beauty and sophistication of the past.
