Now a complex of three architecturally distinct buildings, the Walters Art Museum began as Henry Walters home at 5 Mount Vernon Place. The sculpture court (above) is part of the Charles Street Building. The Hackerman House, a Victorian mansion that is now home to the museum's Asian collection, overlooks the Washington Monument.
