| A fine example of Federal period architecture, Dumbarton House offers visitors to Washington, D.C. an opportunity to enhance their appreciation of early American history. This stately Georgetown home served as a private residence from 1804 to 1928, and was once home to Joseph Nourse, first Register of the U.S. Treasury. Today, visitors to Dumbarton House can tour museum rooms filled with furniture in the Federal style, Chinese export porcelain, silver, textiles, and paintings. |
