Description
English: The former residence of Georgia Douglas Johnson and "site of one of the greatest literary salons of the Harlem Renaissance", located at 1461 S Street, N.W., in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Built in 1880, the Italianate-style home is designated as a contributing property to the Greater U Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

From The New Georgia Encyclopedia - "Johnson called her home at 1461 S Street Northwest in Washington the Half-Way House, in the spirit of her willingness to provide shelter for those in need. On Saturday nights she hosted open houses attended by such Harlem Renaissance writers as Louis Alexander, Gwendolyn Bennett, Marita Bonner, Countee Cullen, Clarissa Scott Delaney, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Angelina Weld Grimké, Langston Hughes, Alain Locke, Kelly Miller, May Miller, Bruce Nugent, Willis Richardson, Anne Spencer, Jean Toomer, and E. C. Williams. The gathering became known as the S Street Salon, and prominent writers often debuted new works at the gatherings. The writer Zora Neale Hurston was a regular at the salon as well."
