The Whittemore House

5.0 (50)An 1890s Dupont Circle mansion pairing antique-furnished rooms with the intimate Lady Bird Johnson Courtyard Garden.
Description
Designed by architect Harvey Page and completed in 1894 for opera singer Sarah Adams Whittemore, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and later granted museum status in 2000. Now serving as the home of the Woman's National Democratic Club, the house doubles as a gathering venue for weddings and private events. Its appeal rests on intact period character—drawing those looking for a preserved, room-by-room historic setting and courtyard rather than a conventional contemporary event hall.
