The house at 1671 31st St. NW reflects Georgetown's storied history—owned by women's rights activists like Belle Sherwin and pioneering judges such as Mary O'Toole.
Belle Sherwin, a significant figure in women's rights and the League of Women Voters, brought her activism to the historic residence after purchasing it in 1930.
Mary O'Toole, the first female municipal judge in the U.S., was celebrated for her progressive views on critical social issues during her short ownership of the house.
The house's historical significance is further highlighted by its previous notable owners, including Union soldier Bernard Janney and influential lawyer Henry Butler.
