Twin Oaks is an 18.1-acre estate located in the Cleveland Park neighborhood in Washington, D.C.. The historic residence, completed in 1888, was designed by Francis Allen for Gardiner Green Hubbard, founder and first president of the National Geographic Society and father-in-law of Alexander Graham Bell. Twin Oaks was listed in 1983 on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites, was listed in 1986 on the National Register of Historic Places in western Washington, D.C., and is a contributing property in the Cleveland Park Historic District. The estate was the residence of nine Republic of China ambassadors to the United States from 1937 until 1979, when the United States switched diplomatic recognition to the People's Republic of China. Taiwan's government, currently represented by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington in place of an official embassy, continues to own the property and uses it for official receptions.
