The Mansion on O Street
Washington, D.C., District of Columbia, United States · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Edward Clark, then Architect of the Capitol, designed three connected 1892 Dupont Circle row houses for his family, including kin of Speaker Champ Clark. H.H. Leonards later stitched five brownstones into a maze of hidden doors and secret passages where every furnishing is for sale, plus the O Street Museum. Rosa Parks found refuge here after a 1994 Detroit assault; a DC African American Heritage Trail plaque marks the stay.
