Hôtel Fenwick, Private mansion in Bordeaux, France
The mansion features a grand central arcade framed by two columns, with arched French windows leading to a balcony supported by consoles.
Built between 1793 and 1800 by architect Jean-Baptiste Dufart, the building served as the first United States consulate under Joseph Fenwick's direction.
The interior staircase in Louis XVI style connects to salons decorated with plasterwork representing the thirteen original American states.
The mansion, located at 1 Cours Xavier-Arnozan, received historical monument status on October 7, 1935, with specific interior areas protected.
Two carved ships were added above the stone columns framing the entrance during modifications around 1870, displaying naval defense elements.
