Bancroft Place

Washington DC

The grand house was designed in 1899 by architect Lemuel Norris and built by William Lipscomb who also built the former Textile Museum on S Street among many other prominent buildings. 2110 Bancroft originally sat just to the east in the location of 2108 Bancroft (which was built later) and was moved to its current location in 1907! It is reportedly the first example of a Federal bow-front style house in Kalorama and the first house built on the south side of Bancroft Place.
