Heurich House Museum, Victorian mansion museum in Dupont Circle Historic District, United States.
The Heurich House Museum is a Victorian mansion from the late 1800s located in Washington's Dupont Circle Historic District on New Hampshire Avenue. The building displays typical architecture of that era across multiple floors, furnished with original pieces and period decorative objects.
Christian Heurich, a German immigrant, built this residence in 1892 using advanced construction techniques and fireproof materials for added safety. The house was created during the period when Heurich expanded his brewing business in Washington.
The house tells the story of a German-American family through furniture, decorative objects, and personal items that reflect their daily life. The rooms preserve memories of the Heurich brewing family and their heritage in Washington's community.
The museum is near the Dupont Circle Metro station on the Red Line, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Visits are by guided tour only, so planning ahead helps you time your visit well.
An original 1901 Steinway piano sits in the house and can still be played during visits. An attached biergarten space connects the musical experience to the family's brewing heritage.
