EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston around 1910-1911, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Townsend House, once home to Sumner Welles, located at 2121 Massachusetts Ave. N.W. in Washington, D.C. Now serving as the Cosmos Club, this Beaux-Arts masterpiece was designed by the distinguished architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings. The image showcases the richly decorated and furnished ballroom, a testament to the opulence and elegance of the era. The room is adorned with intricate detail, from the ornate chandelier that hangs above, casting a warm and inviting glow, to the meticulously designed interior decoration and interior design. Mary Scott Townsend, the original owner of the Townsend House, spared no expense in creating a home that exuded both sophistication and grandeur. Sumner Welles, a prominent diplomat and advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, later called this historic residence his own. This photograph, part of the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the grand balls and soirees that once filled this magnificent space. The empty ballroom, bathed in soft light, stands as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Washington, D.C. and the United States.
