An ornate antique sink inside the Heurich House in D.C.

An ornate antique sink inside the Heurich House in D.C. This is an old Victorian mansion in the Dupont area of the city. As DCist explains, Its current owners want to preserve it as a museum but are running short of funds.

We went during the $5 open house and I snapped a bunch of pictures. As we were leaving I noticed a little sign that said “no pictures.” Oops. But it's not like I was being the least bit secretive w/the camera so it didn't seem like they were caring too much about the no picture policy. At any rate, I was all in favor of helping to raise money to preserve the house until we wandered into one of the rooms where they were playing a video about its builder. The guy was a beer brewer, which is cool, but the video made jokes about what an ass he was to his workers, which is not cool. If the guy was such a jerk to work for, why should we preserve his stupid house? I mean, sure, it's gorgeous inside, but....

Ok, I understand that even if he was a jerk there are still good reasons to preserve the house. If you agree, visit the website and help out.
