About this Event
This is a don't miss private tour! Located just off Dupont Circle, the 1893 Whittemore House mansion houses The Woman’s National Democratic Club (WNDC) and hosts private events. This tour is free of charge.
The WNDC Museum is housed in a landmark 19th-century residence, originally built for Sarah Adams Whittemore, an opera singer and member of the distinguished Adams family of Massachusetts.
The building, designed by Harvey Page, is informally called The Whittemore House.
Significant interior features include the Arts and Crafts foyer and stairwell and an elaborate plaster ceiling in the former music room, now the Hamlin Room.
In addition to its architecture, The Whittemore House contains a rich permanent collection of fine art and furniture. The WNDC Ballroom and art galleries feature rotating exhibitions from Washington-area artists.
