Located at 15 Dupont Circle NW in Washington, D.C., the Patterson Mansion, also known as the Washington Club, is a Neoclassical-style mansion completed in 1903 for Robert Wilson Patterson, editor of the Chicago Tribune, who used it as a residence and entertaining venue. Designed by architect Stanford White, the building exemplifies Renaissance Revival architecture. Originally a private home, it was deeded to the American Red Cross in 1948 and subsequently acquired by the Washington Club in 1951, which undertook a renovation and added a two-story extension in 1955. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, it stands as one of only two remaining mansions on Dupont Circle and contributes to both the Dupont Circle Historic District and the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District.
