The historic Patterson Mansion—once home to the Coolidges and a hub of D.C. society—is now home to Placemakr Dupont Circle and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A Legacy Worth Staying In
Originally built in 1903, the Patterson Mansion was the private residence of Robert and Elinor Patterson of the Chicago Tribune. Designed by famed architect Stanford White, this Beaux-Arts masterpiece has welcomed dignitaries, royalty, and even U.S. presidents—President Calvin Coolidge and his wife famously lived here during White House renovations.
Today, this storied past is beautifully preserved and seamlessly blended with modern living. Thanks to Placemakr’s reimagining, the mansion’s original grandeur now houses a fresh, flexible hospitality concept designed for how people stay today.
