The James G Blaine Mansion is a massive red brick pile dominating the corner of Massachusetts and Twentieth Street. It wears a steep, slate mansard roof and heavy limestone trim that anchors it firmly to the Victorian era. Senator James G Blaine moved here in eighteen eighty-two after a stint as Secretary of State. He hosted legendary political dinners inside, where lobbyists and rivals negotiated the future of the country over formal courses, keeping the house as the unofficial headquarters of the Republican Party.
