The Wylie Mansion was a mansion which once stood at 10 Thomas Circle in Washington, D.C.. It stood prominently on the northeast section of the circle for over 100 years until a fire destroyed a significant portion of the house on April 20, 1947 and it was demolished. The mansion was built for Charles L. Coltman, a brick-maker and builder. The mansion became known as the Wylie Mansion, however, when judge Andrew Wylie occupied it while presiding over the trial surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It was believed to have been built in 1843.[1]
The International Inn, now Washington Plaza Hotel, built in 1962 by architect Morris Lapidus now stands on the site.[2][3]
