T h e S u l g r a v e C l u b The Sulgrave Club, 1801 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington D.C., is a women’s club located in the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood. The 6,300 square foot mansion was built by Herbert and Martha Wadsworth of the Genesee Valley in New York as a winter residence. Built between 1900 and 1903, the structure represents the Beaux-Arts style of architecture during the Gilded Age. The second floor is anchored by a magnificent dining and ballroom. During the last 85 years, the club has had a wide variety of influential women as both members and guests. One staff member commented that Eleanor Roosevelt was there listening to a piano performance when she was summoned back to the White House to learn about her husband’s death. The club provides nine sleeping rooms for members, guests and reciprocal club members. Male guests are welcome but not eligible to become members. The building is close to the Dupont Circle metro station, within walking distance to the wonderful restaurants Kramerbooks & Afterword’s Cafe, the Phillips Collection, Embassy Row and other interesting architectural and historical places. The club staff is welcoming and helpful. It is a great place to stay for its location, historical architectural design and low key atmosphere. Kate Brown Champaign, IL
