The James G. Blaine Mansion, is an historic house, located at 2000 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.

History

The Queen Anne style house was built in 1881, designed of architect John Fraser. It's the only surviving example of large mansions built during the late 1800s that once ringed Dupont Circle.

It was the residence of Republican politician James G. Blaine. George Westinghouse bought the home in 1901, and resided there until his death in 1914.

In recent years, the Blaine Mansion has been used for commercial purposes. The current owner, lawyer John R. Phillips, hired Eichberg Construction to renovate the property which includes adding an underground parking deck, adjoining six-story residential building, and Italian restaurant. The renovation and allied construction projects cost an estimated $20 million.

The Blaine Mansion is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District, and Massachusetts Avenue Historic District.
