EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1917 and 1920, showcases the magnificent exterior of the Congressional Club on New Hampshire Avenue in Washington, D.C. Designed by renowned architect George Oakley Totten Jr. and completed in 1917, this Neoclassical clubhouse stands as a testament to the architectural grandeur of the early 20th century. The building's intricate details, including its columned façade and ornate glass windows, exude an air of sophistication and elegance. The Congressional Club, a private social club for women, was a popular gathering place for the capital's elite during the 1910s and 1920s. The club's membership consisted primarily of the wives of Congressmen and Senators, making it a hub of political and social activity. The clubhouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, remains an important part of Washington, D.C.'s rich history. This photograph, taken from the outside, captures the essence of a bygone era. The image, a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a place of power, prestige, and beauty. The Congressional Club, with its grand architecture and storied history, continues to be an iconic symbol of Washington, D.C.'s heritage and cultural significance.
