With gold-leaf ceilings and spectacular murals and antiques, the house is considered one of the most elegant venues in Washington. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and is filled with antique gems from Anderson's travels as an American diplomat in Rome, Brussels and Tokyo between 1891 and 1913. The Anderson House's first two floors are now available for corporate functions and weddings. For seated functions, cocktails are held upstairs in a long, Versailles-like hallway and dinner is held downstairs in the ballroom and adjacent winter garden and billiard rooms.
Fees vary depending on the time of year and type of event.
The Society of the Cincinnati will not rent out the house for more than two nights per week-and never for two consecutive nights. The Society of the Cincinnati was organized in 1783 by officers who fought in the American Revolution, including George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. Although requirements vary slightly for each of the 14 chapters, in order to become a member of the society, you must be the eldest son of a direct descendant of a Revolutionary War officer. Today the society has about 3,500 members. The official magazine of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
