Anderson House is a grand Beaux-Arts mansion near Dupont Circle, built in the early 20th century for Larz and Isabel Anderson. It now houses the Society of the Cincinnati, with rooms, collections, and a museum tied to the memory of the American Revolution.
The appeal is the combination of private wealth and public history: marble, tapestries, formal rooms, and a patriotic institution with roots in the officer corps of the Revolutionary War. It is an easy cultural stop if you are already in Dupont Circle.
