2. Woman's National Democratic Club - Whittemore House
“Due to its lack of applied decoration, its abstract geometric forms, and brickwork, the Woman's National Democratic Club at 1526 New Hampshire has a
restrained dignity not often found in mansions built in Washington in the 1890's.” — National Register Form.
