Life for a Washington, D.C. family during the Gilded Age, roughly spanning the late 19th century, was marked by social and political dynamism. The city transformed into a bustling hub of power and influence, as politicians, lobbyists, and dignitaries flocked to the nation's capital. Affluent families enjoyed opulent homes in fashionable neighborhoods like Dupont Circle, attended extravagant social events, and engaged in political networking. Women began to assert themselves in society, advocating for suffrage and social reforms. However, beneath the veneer of prosperity, issues of inequality and corruption simmered, leading to progressive movements and ultimately shaping the city's evolving social landscape.
