Dupont Circle

Captured at golden hour, this striking Romanesque Revival mansion stands proudly at a busy corner of Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood. Built in the late 19th century, the red brick exterior is framed by intricate green trim and a round turret tower, nodding to a time when craftsmanship and grandeur defined the city’s wealthiest homes.

 

This historic structure once served as a private residence and now often houses embassies, cultural institutions, or offices. The vibrant urban energy is on full display: pedestrians cross the iconic rainbow crosswalk, a symbol of Dupont’s LGBTQ+ pride and activism. The playful mix of historic architecture, community spirit, and modern city life perfectly encapsulates what makes this part of D.C. so dynamic and beloved.
