The 16th Fuller MansionLocated in the 16th Street, NW Historic District, this magnificent mansion was designed by renowned American architect George Oakley Totten. When built, in 1922, it was part of a project conceived to develop the surrounding area as the center of social and diplomatic life in Washington, DC. The building was erected by Mary Henderson as a memorial to her son and with the goal that it become the official residence of the Vice President of the United States. Mary Henderson was the wife of Missouri Senator John B. Henderson, who introduced the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution that abolished slavery.
Offered by the Hendersons to the U.S. Government as a gift, it was declined by the Congress due to concerns about the expense of its upkeep. In April 2, 1927, the Beaux-Arts Mansion was purchased by the Government of Spain, as the residence of the Ambassador until late 1990s, when a new official residence was inaugurated on Foxhall Road.
Presently the Spain-USA Foundation is diligently working with the Embassy of Spain to prevent further damage to this extraordinary house, and return this Washingtonian landmark to its original splendor.
