Patrons’ Party at Plank House
By • May 3, 2017 0 1323
The annual Patrons’ Party that precedes and benefits the Georgetown House Tour amped up the “wow” factor at the house of Under Armour founder, CEO and chairman Kevin Plank and his wife D.J. (Desiree Jacqueline) Wednesday, April 26. The renovated historic property at 34th and O Streets — named Sagamore South by Plank — has most famously been home to Ambassador David Bruce and his wife Evangeline, a legendary Georgetown hostess.
Debbie Winsor sold the c. 1815 Federal house to the Planks in 2013 for just under $8 million. The Patrons’ Party for the 2010 house tour was held at the same location when the Winsors owned it.
The more than 400 guests enjoyed food and drinks in the garden, patio and house. The rooms — from the man cave with TVs and pool table in the basement to the themed bedrooms — were knockouts. The Planks were not at home.
The 2017 Georgetown House Tour showed off eight houses on Saturday, April 29.
-
- Jackie Pletcher, Stephanie Bothwell, Michele Evans and Krista Johnson.
-
- Elizabeth Miller, the Rev. Gini Gerbasi, Rector of St. John’s Church, and Avery Miller.
