Heurich Mansion/Historical Society of Washington DC

A magnate's fanciful domain

1307 New Hampshire Avenue North West
Washington DC 20036

This extravagant mansion is the legacy of a local immigrant success story. Christian Heurich, a German orphan, made his fortune in beer. His 31-room home, lavish and eccentric, is full of turrets, onyx fireplaces and the furnishings used by he and his family in the 20th century. Victorian excess, carved wood and a lovely garden make the property a must see. The Historical Society of Washington DC is housed at this location as well. Admission fee is $3.
