Description

909 M St NW, Washington, DC

The Blanche Kelso Bruce House, built around 1865 in Washington, D.C., is a notable example of Second Empire architecture, distinguished by its mansard roof, ornate window moldings, and decorative cornices. It gained historical significance as the residence of Blanche K. Bruce, the first African American to serve a full term in the U.S. Senate. During his time in office, Bruce used the home as a base for political and social engagement, making it a symbol of African American leadership and progress during Reconstruction. It’s now listed on the National Register for Historic Places.
