Description
English: The Swann House bed and breakfast (innkeepers – Mary Lotto Ross and Rick Verkler), located at 1808 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Built in 1883 (total cost of construction – $18,000) for Walter Paris, an architect and artist, the building reflects a combination of the Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque architectural styles. In addition to the original and current owners, previous occupants include Colonel Theodore W. Tyrer, Eva Roberts Cromwell (the widow of Oliver Eaton Cromwell; her marriage to Edward T. Stotesbury in 1912 took place at the New Hampshire Avenue property; wedding guests included U.S. President William Howard Taft, First Lady Helen Herron Taft, and J. P. Morgan), David F. Houston, Edward Philip Farley (chairman of the U.S. Shipping Board), Edith Cummings, George A. Garrett, and a large number of residents when the property operated as a boarding house from the 1940s–1990s.

The Swann House is designated as a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
