EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1910s, showcases the elegant facade of the Mary Scott Townsend house located at 2121 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. in Washington, D.C. The Beaux-Arts style mansion, designed by the esteemed architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings, was originally built for Mary Scott Townsend in the early 20th century. The house is situated in the prestigious Embassy Row district, which was then, as now, home to many diplomats and prominent figures. The photograph captures the grandeur of the Townsend house, with its symmetrical design, intricate detailing, and lush greenery. The large trees lining the property add a sense of tranquility and contrast the urban surroundings. The house's white exterior, adorned with columns and ornate detailing, is a testament to the architectural heritage of Washington, D.C. Over the years, the Townsend house has had several notable residents, including Mathilde and B. Sumner Wells, who later made it their home. Today, the building is known as the Cosmos Club, a prestigious social and cultural club for artists, writers, and other professionals. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and architectural beauty of Washington, D.C. in the early 20th century. The image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the architectural and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1900s and 1910s.
