Toutorsky Mansion, Estate of the Day
The Toutorsky Mansion has to be one of the most interesting properties in Washington D.C. It's a brick-and-limestone neo-Belgian mansion built in the 1890s for Supreme Court justice, Henry Billings Brown. Brown occupied the house until he died in 1913. The home later operated as the Persian Legation and then as the headquarters of the American Zionist Organization. After that it was bought by Basil and Maria Toutorsky and operated as the Toutorsky Academy of Music.In 1988 it was donated to the Peabody Conservatory of Music at The John Hopkins University but sold a few years later. Lately the 17,000 square-foot home has served as a bed and breakfast with five guest rooms. The mansion is full of beautiful carved wood griffins, crystal chandeliers, monumental fireplaces and stained glass details. It is now listed for sale for $5.75 million.

just incredible how people trying to sell a multi-million dollar property will not invest in professional photos. These are pathetic...as noted, gee, they couldn't have removed the pepsi cans? Tilted photos, underexposed, etc.

My first time viewing this site. Just thought that anyone viewing this estate might be interested in seeing the RiverStone Estate. Historic 1,200+ acres beautifully restored with faithful attention to detail. Just now coming on the market. It will be the cover and feature in Feb 2010 duPont Registry. Just a treat to see!! You can view images of the grounds and see aerial images from the home page. Viewing the mansion and 25 other buildings requires setting up an account and log in (no one will contact you).
