Heurich House Museum (The Brewmaster’s Castle)

The Heurich House Museum, built in 1894 for brewer Christian Heurich and located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, is a well-preserved late 19th-century Romanesque Revival mansion now operated as a house museum. The property retains original architectural features, furnishings, and archival materials documenting the life of Heurich and urban domestic culture in Washington at the turn of the 20th century. The museum interprets the building’s history and the Heurich family’s role in the city’s social and industrial life.
