Anderson House🏛️ The Most Luxurious Mansion in Washington DC

This magnificent mansion was built in 1905 by American diplomat Larz Anderson and his wife Isabel. It stands as one of the iconic representations of America’s Gilded Age, featuring modern amenities like elevators and central heating even back then—serving as the family’s winter residence (was winter in DC not that cold back then? 🤔). The house is filled with artworks collected by the couple from around the world, including a pair of Chinese guardian lions 🦁. For over three decades, the mansion hosted countless concerts, dances, and elegant dinners, with notable guests such as Winston Churchill gracing its halls. In 1937, the Andersons donated the property to The Society of the Cincinnati in the United States, a historic patriotic organization founded by George Washington and other military officers in 1783. To this day, the mansion retains its opulent early 20th-century interior design and furnishings.
