Stewart's Castle, Victorian mansion in Dupont Circle, United States.
The red brick mansion featured a prominent stone turret and detailed ornamental elements on the north side of Dupont Circle between Connecticut and Massachusetts Avenue.
Architect Adolf Cluss completed this residential structure in 1873 for Nevada Senator William Morris Stewart, who faced financial difficulties shortly after moving in.
The Chinese Legation occupied the mansion from 1886 to 1893, hosting large social receptions that introduced Chinese customs to Washington society.
The building sustained severe fire damage in 1879 due to a defective flue, requiring extensive repairs before returning to its social functions.
Despite its architectural value and social importance, the mansion stood for only 28 years before its demolition in 1901 under Senator William Clark's ownership.
