Frances Perkins House, National Historic Landmark in Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District, Washington, D.C., United States.
Frances Perkins House is a three-story brick townhouse featuring Colonial Revival style with segmented-arch windows and Ionic columns framing the entrance. The facade displays mansard roofs with dormer windows typical of this historic neighborhood.
The woman who lived here was the first female Cabinet member in the United States and shaped the nation's labor laws. She resided in the house during her years as Secretary of Labor in the 1930s.
The house represents the struggle of women in leadership and shows how such achievements became visible in the city's history. Visitors can engage with the legacy of someone who transformed labor rights in America.
The house sits in the Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood, an affluent area with many historic buildings and diplomatic residences. The location is walkable and street parking is available nearby.
This house is one of two matching buildings designed as mirror images sharing identical architectural details. Such paired townhouse designs were a common approach in upscale neighborhoods during that era.
