Description
Built as the home of businesswoman and philanthropist Marjorie Merriweather Post, the Northwest Washington residence offers a preserved glimpse into Gilded Age luxury. Inside, the 18th- and 19th-century imperial holdings extend to porcelain and icons displayed alongside an array of French decorative arts. Outdoors, the grounds unfold across structured formal gardens, walking paths, a dedicated Japanese-style garden, and a greenhouse.
