About this audio guide
This guide to the Heurich House Museum in Washington, D.C. sets aside the mansion's brewer owner, Christian Heurich, to follow the 146 staff who cooked, cleaned and ran the fireproof 1894 house day to day, and his wife Amelia, who managed them. It follows the 2020 pandemic-era research project that pulled diaries, ledgers and oral histories off the shelves to recover their names, starting with a chauffeur named Edward Brandstatter.
