Brodhead-Bell-Morton Mansion, Historic mansion at Embassy Row, Washington DC, United States.
The four-story mansion at 1500 Rhode Island Avenue features limestone cladding, arched windows, a porte-cochere, and decorative elements including quoins and carved shells.
The mansion underwent a transformation in 1912 when architect John Russell Pope modified its original Queen Anne style into a Beaux-Arts design for Vice President Levi Morton.
The structure housed influential figures such as Alexander Graham Bell, Russian ambassadors, and members of Congress before becoming the Embassy of Hungary in 2016.
Located northeast of Scott Circle, the mansion stands on approximately 20,000 square feet of land and maintains registration in the National Register of Historic Places.
The building operated as headquarters for the National Paint, Varnish, and Lacquer Association from 1939 to 2016 before converting to diplomatic purposes.
