About the Space
Recently remodeled, this popular, flexible space works beautifully for a staff retreat, meeting, small lecture or workshop. It is also easily converted to a child care space in support of events elsewhere on our campus. This room has immediate access to our east gardens and the bluestone terrace above. Delivery and set up for in-room breakfast, lunch or dinner are simple. The Decatur Place Room is accessible to persons with disabilities and limited mobility via a ramp.

Parking description
Due to the historic nature of our facility, we have no parking of our own. For larger events, ask about valet and transportation providers.
Parking is not available at our venue although there are two on street spaces that may be available for short-term loading and unloading only. Due to impacts on our residential neighbors, Guests are asked to request their attendees to use nearby paid parking garages (ask about options), rideshare, or public transportation to the extent possible rather than parking on neighborhood streets. Street parking restrictions are strictly enforced by the city.
The Guest may arrange valet parking or transportation from another location at their own expense. Buses and shuttles should arrange for a no parking permit from the DC government. Off street parking options for oversized vehicles are limited.
