About this space

Built in the 1920s and purchased by Friends Meeting of Washington in 1970, historic Quaker House was formerly an elegant townhome to diplomats. The home’s multipurpose living room features a vaulted ceiling, French windows, and a nonworking fireplace. Its doors open onto a new glass corridor on the north, seamlessly connecting this space to the west terrace and gardens (rented separately), the elevator, the Meeting House and the rest of the venue. Your rental includes access to a kitchenette and a small break-out space that can also be used for buffet service.

The versatile Quaker House Living Room is a perfect venue for an office or board retreat, workshop, meeting, as well as for a small wedding, memorial or religious service, birthday, or baby shower. The space is optionally expanded by the 10-foot deep circulation space that opens onto the upper west terrace and gardens — or with a concurrent rental of nearby spaces such as the Bridge Room.
