Visual Materials
Views of the imposing diplomatic residences of Washington, DC, many of which have been demolished. Most of these images were taken by Johnston for a series of articles that she authored entitled "The Foreign Legations of Washington, Parts 1-4" in Demorest's Family Magazine (April-July 1893). There are exterior and interior views of the Austrian, British, and French Embassies as well as the Brazilian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and Russian Legations. The addresses of the buildings (included in the item-level guide) were provided by The Commission of Fine Arts in the 1970s.
