EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, showcases the elegant living room of the Mary Scott Townsend House located at 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The Townsend House, a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture, was designed by the esteemed firm of Carrère and Hastings and is now the home of the Cosmos Club. The room, adorned with exquisite furniture and rich colors, exudes an air of grandeur and historical significance. The fireplace, framed by ornate molding, adds to the room's warmth and inviting atmosphere. The blue color scheme, evident in the chair upholstery and the mirror's reflection, creates a soothing and calming effect. The Townsend House, situated on Embassy Row, has a storied history. It was once the residence of Mathilde and B. Sumner Welles, and later purchased by the Cosmos Club in 1950. This photograph, taken during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and historical significance of this architectural masterpiece. The photograph, a cyanotype, is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress. Johnston's keen eye for detail and her ability to capture the essence of a space are evident in this stunning image. The mirror, reflecting the room's interior decoration and the looking glass into the past, adds to the photograph's intrigue and allure.
