Ivy Singles at the Woman's National Democratic Club
The Cornell Club of Washington is pleased to host the Ivy Singles Social Club October Event.
Join us for an evening of exceptional non-partisan company and conversation in the Adlai Stevenson Ballroom of the Woman’s National Democratic Club. Hors d’oeuvres and cash bar drinks will be available.
The Woman's National Democratic Club is located near Dupont Circle in the Whittemore House, one of Washington's most elegant, historic mansions with ten function rooms and a garden. Each room displays political campaign memorabilia, portraits, photographs, political cartoons, antique furnishings in handsomely appointed rooms, such as the antique filled Marjorie Merriweather Post Parlor. Significant interior features include the Arts and Crafts foyer and stairwell, and an elaborate plaster ceiling in the former music room, now the Hamlin Room. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum features special exhibits like its 2002 exhibit, The Kennedys: A Legacy of Style and Substance.
Sarah Adams Whittemore, an opera singer and a descendant of President John Adams, commissioned Washington architect Harvey Page to design the home in 1892. Unique in Washington, this is an English Arts and Craft structure, with distinctive New Jersey orange-brown brick, overhanging roof, and turrets, Whittemore sold the building to the Club in 1927. The House was placed on the DC Register in 1964 and on the National Register in 1973.
The Ivy Singles Social Club (http://www.ivysinglesdc.com) is a coalition of Ivy League, Seven Sister and other prestigious schools' regional alumni associations that sponsors social activities. Our events are open to all single alumni of member schools and their guests. The majority of our attendees are in their 30's, 40's or 50's, but all ages are welcome.
