September 29th, 2008 Warren G Harding Home Washington, DC
The
Warren G Harding Home...now the Monaco embassy. It's located at
1612 21st Street, NW. In July 1917, the Hardings
purchased this house, a neo-Georgian style duplex with a terrace and
a side entrance. They lived in this house through the end of his
Senate term, though Harding used his home in Marion, Ohio during the
summer of 1920 to conduct his famous “front porch” campaign. In
November 1920, Harding defeated Democrat James M. Cox of Ohio for
the Presidency. He resigned from the Senate in December 1920 and was
inaugurated as the 29th President on March 4, 1921. This home is now
privately owned - and it occupied by the Embassy of Monaco.
