White-Meyer House, Historic residential mansion in Meridian Hill, United States.
The White-Meyer House is a mansion in Washington's Meridian Hill neighborhood featuring Georgian Revival architecture with classical proportions throughout. The structure spans multiple levels and displays symmetrical design with formal rooms on the main floor suited for exhibitions and gatherings.
The residence was built between 1910 and 1912 for Ambassador Henry White and reflects the Beaux-Arts tradition of that period. Ownership passed to Eugene Meyer, Federal Reserve Chairman, in 1934, marking a significant transition in its history.
Today it hosts rotating art exhibitions and cultural events in its main floor galleries. The space serves as a venue for international programs and community gatherings throughout the year.
The main floor and surrounding gardens can be visited by arrangement through Meridian International Center. It is recommended to contact them in advance since the property is not open for casual drop-in visits.
A brick pathway connects the property to nearby Meridian House through an ornamental iron gate decorated with meridian line symbols. This physical link reflects how both residences now function as part of a single cultural institution.
