| Details | During the late 1800s, Washington’s movers and shakers strolled the streets of Dupont Circle, where Massachusetts Avenue was the city’s premier residential address. However, during and after the Great Depression, many of the neighborhood’s magnificent mansions were sold and converted into embassies, social clubs, and offices. Join local historian and guide Carolyn Muraskin on a walk through Dupont Circle for views of grand homes such as the Walsh-McLean House (now the Indonesian embassy), Townsend House (now the Cosmos Club), and Woodrow Wilson House (now a museum). |
