About this space

The library and parlor are combined for a small space that offers both comfortable, informal seating on upholstered antiques and reproductions as well as a classic oak table for a meeting of six to eight. This space is perfect for a small meeting, discussion, or staff retreat. Pocket doors open onto a hallway that leads to the glass-enclosed lobby overlooking gardens. South and west facing windows provide natural light most of the day. Enjoy the ambiance of gently tended book collections.

We really loved this location which was perfectly located for the interviews we filmed for a documentary series. Brian and Lizzy were so helpful and incredibly responsive even when we were booking at short notice!

About Friends Meeting of Washington

Historic but newly renovated, our event venue offers unique spaces surrounded by gardens. Centrally located in Dupont Circle in the heart of Washington DC — within walking distance of the Metrorail — our event venue is close to many hotels and restaurants.

On behalf of our community, we personally invite you to experience our Quaker hospitality as the venue for your event. Accessible to all and environmentally sustainable, our event venue offers a unique setting and a peaceful oasis removed from the bustle of Washington DC.
