The Tudor Place mansion, Washington D.C.

The original owner of the Tudor Place property had built two structures on the property:  One, the home; the other, the stables.  

When the Peters engaged William Thornton, he designed a grand home between the two structures with the original buildings serving as wings to the new home. The center front of the Tudor Place mansion recalls a circular temple with massive columns supporting a domed roof introducing you into the neoclassical house. 

Once inside, you experience a continuation of the exterior semi-circular wall inside the reception area. Tall sliding windows within that semi-circle allow you to step from the temple portico inside the home.
