Overview
The Heurich House Museum, the "Brewmaster's Castle," is a remarkably intact Victorian mansion in Dupont Circle built in 1894 by German immigrant brewer Christian Heurich, the city's first fireproof house. Guided tours show the original furnishings and ornate woodwork, and the garden hosts the 1921 Garden Bar serving local craft beer, including revivals of Heurich's Senate Beer.
