Anderson House

This Beaux-Arts mansion on Embassy Row was built in the early twentieth century as a winter residence for diplomat Larz Anderson and now serves as headquarters of the Society of the Cincinnati. Its gilded ballrooms, carved staircases, and imported European furnishings survive largely intact, offering a rare view of Gilded Age Washington interiors. The museum interprets the American Revolution and the officers who founded the society through portraiture, arms, and decorative arts.
