Larz Anderson House

2118 Massachusetts Avenue, Washington D.C.

Completed in 1905, for Larz Anderson (1866-1937) and his wife Isabel Weld Perkins (1876-1938). Serving as their winter home, it was designed by Little & Browne of Boston who were commissioned in the same year to build Henry Clay Frick's summer colossus, Eagle Rock. The Andersons died without children in 1937 and Isabel willed the house and its contents to the Society of the Cincinnati (of which her husband had been a member for over 40-years) that opened it as a museum from 1939. It remains open to the public today as the Society's  headquarters, museum, and library....
