Willard Hotel.....lobby even.
Posted by: Michael McIntyre | 21 July 2011 at 07:24 PM
I saw things not unlike this at the Institute of World Politics, at 16th and Church Streets NW.
Posted by: frogspawn | 21 July 2011 at 07:32 PM
I haven't a clue, but it looks like somebody was a wood craftsman of the finer variety.
Posted by: J | 21 July 2011 at 10:28 PM
If not the Willard Hotel, maybe Anderson House?
Posted by: joe brand | 21 July 2011 at 11:24 PM
Looks like a bar I've never been in.
Posted by: optimax | 21 July 2011 at 11:36 PM
I am guessing a fine old saloon, or the bar in a restaurant on Connecticut Ave.

cosmos club?
Posted by: TamBram | 22 July 2011 at 12:28 AM
And I was going to guess the Willard.

All
It is none of these although the "Anderson House" was inspired. Speaking of the Cincinnati, it is a frustration of mine that althought I had many relatives and ancestors in the War of Independence none of them were commissioned officers of the Continentental Army. Lots of infantry EM in the CA and lots of militia officers but, no cigar. pl

The St Regis Hotel ??

No. people at the LOC are also trying to figure this out as well. pl

I had a business lunch at the Army-Navy Club in DC once. This is similar to its grandiose interior.
J is right, though, the woodcraft is beautiful.

Colonel,
You came up with a good brain teaser on this one.
Just enough to whet the appetite, but not enough to give away the store.
Posted by: J | 22 July 2011 at 10:33 AM
Mike Martin
It is not the Army-Navy Club. pl

Colonel,
Can you give us just a 'hint'? Is it in the
1. entertainment
2. dining
3. education
4. the arts
department?

Since it's in D.C. I assume it's not the Custis-Lee Mansion.

I have only seen a picture of the outside of Fannie Mae's headquarters but it wouldn't surprise me if Louis and Marie Antoinette were inside sipping champagne so that's my guess.
Posted by: Ward | 22 July 2011 at 12:55 PM
All
Not Fannie Mae
This is baroque, not roccoco. This is a residence, or was a residence.It is in NW. pl
Posted by: Patrick Lang | 22 July 2011 at 03:35 PM
OK Colonel
It is the Embassy of Indonesia - former residence of Thomas Walsh.
Posted by: The beaver | 22 July 2011 at 03:49 PM
Colonel,
You being a scholar of the Civil War period, could this perhaps be related to that subject matter? Am I getting warmer, or colder?
Posted by: J | 22 July 2011 at 04:00 PM
Let's see, hmmm......it's too ornate for the Lincoln Cottage, not verbose enough to meet the standards of late great dame of the Washington Post. Doesn't fit the colonial period. Hmmm.....

The man who built this came to the US in 1867. pl

Heurich House?
