Townsend House, Gilded Age Mansion
The Townsend House is a historic building on Embassy Row in Washington DC. The free-standing house, set in almost an acre of garden, was designed in the Beaux Arts French style by architects Carr̬re and Hastings in 1898 for Mary Scott Townsend, daughter of and heiress to William Lawrence Scott, and her husband Richard H. Townsend. Construction was essentially completed in 1901. The Cosmos Club purchased the property in 1950. The Townsend House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
