Heiresses, industrial magnates, newspaper tycoons and political elites built opulent mansions along the avenue, all to impress Washington society. After the Great Depression, many of these magnificent mansions were converted into embassies, social clubs, and offices. Hear the stories of the Capital’s ruling class and learn about the history of Washington’s premier promenade. No registration needed. For Zoom link go to syossetlibrary.org.
