Benjamin Ogle Tayloe House, Federal mansion in Lafayette Square, United States
The Benjamin Ogle Tayloe House stands at 21 Madison Place NW, directly across from the White House and Treasury Building in Washington D.C.
Built in 1828 by Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, the residence later housed the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage headquarters from 1915 to 1917.
During the 1880s, the house contained over 200 marble statues, bronze sculptures, fine furniture, and paintings that were donated to Corcoran Gallery.
The property forms part of the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building complex and maintains its position in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Senate approved legislation in 1896 to make this building the Vice President's official residence, but the House of Representatives rejected the proposal.
