This house is historically important because all the other Dodge and Stotesbury mansions (with the exception of half the Stotesbury's Philadelphia townhouse) have been demolished. Of all your posts the ones I love the most are those that feature Washington's historic architecture. Will there be a post on the Willard Hotel anytime soon?

Cromwell, who in turn later married Doris Duke, who had three Trumbauer houses of her own, including the sublime Duke mansion on 5th avenue. After Delphine decamped this place, Mrs. Dodge in turn rented it to Jimmy Cromwell's mother, who was downsizing from her vast Whitemarsh Hall, also by Trumbauer. <br /><br />(Raymond Baker was also once married to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's widow, Margaret Emerson McKim, but that's a different architectural thread :-)<br /><br />Can't wait for the next installment. This is couture architecture at its highest level.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-40618701064999554962013-11-24T09:56:38.367-05:002013-11-24T09:56:38.367-05:00Thanks for the tour, Stephan!

I am thrilled for your good fortune.<br /><br />I must say, it would be good to see the orientation of the house before a visit so as to know the right time to be there. Too often my schedule dictates and I get a great back but a lousy front... there's even an ap for the sun with height in the sky etc. Pretty nifty if you are a nerd. When you scout a movie, the DP is always making notes about it.<br /><br />Can't wait to see the inside!<br />Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-70460766992572697212013-11-23T16:36:09.011-05:002013-11-23T16:36:09.011-05:00I was born in the wrong class. *sigh*
