The DC Design House benefits Children's National Medical Center, raising more than $200,000 for the hospital last year.

This year's home is a 1925 12,000-square-foot English Country Tudor on an acre of land in Forest Hills, owned by the Wasserman family and on the market for $4.9 million. The late George Wasserman was a local businessman and philanthropic force in the community, including co-founding the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington. The home was originally built for Charles Woodward, founder of Woodward & Lothrop department store chain, and was the site of numerous high profile gatherings where movie stars, such as Kirk Douglas, politicians and dignitaries, such as Lady and Lord Balfour, attended.
