The Dupont Circle neighborhood in Washington, D.C., has a rich and diverse history, evolving from mid-1800s estates to 19th-century rowhouses. Once a Civil War encampment, it transformed into a social hub in the early 1900s, where mansions hosted high-profile gatherings. This visual history features photographs that document the architectural elegance of the area, alongside rare images from World War II, showcasing the transition of these grand homes into rooming houses, reflecting the neighborhood's changing identity and cultural significance.
