Heurich House Museum (Brewmaster's Castle) preserving local Gilded-Age culture

The Heurich House Museum preserves the Washington residence of brewer Christian Heurich and interprets late-19th- and early-20th-century domestic life, design, and social history. The restored mansion contains historic furnishings, period decor, and exhibits about brewing and urban life in historic Dupont Circle, and it offers guided tours and public programs. The site is operated as a house museum that documents one facet of the city's cultural and architectural history.
