Description

This 200 year-old townhouse served as a temporary White House for President James Monroe, who waited for the real one to be rebuilt after the British burned it during the War of 1812. Today the structure is headquarters for a club that promotes the arts in Washington. The club frequently hosts art shows and concerts, and visitors are welcome to wander around the rather charming abode.
