Toutorsky Mansion, Historic mansion in Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C., United States.
The Toutorsky Mansion is a five-story residence in Dupont Circle with eight fireplaces and eighteen rooms connected by elaborate Ludowici tile work throughout its structure. The exterior displays Renaissance Flemish design, while the interior blends Gothic, Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Colonial elements across its spaces.
Supreme Court Justice Henry Billings Brown commissioned architect William Henry Miller to construct this residence in 1894. The building later changed hands and now serves as an embassy.
The mansion housed the Toutorsky Academy of Music from 1947, established by Russian nobleman Basil Peter Toutorsky after his acquisition of the property.
The building currently serves as an embassy located at 1720 16th Street NW in Washington, D.C. Visitors should know that the interior is not open to the public and remains accessible only for official business.
The mansion once housed the Toutorsky Academy of Music in the mid-20th century, founded by a Russian nobleman. This musical heritage faded when the building took on its present diplomatic role.
