Can a building be a pioneer? This one can. Sitting atop Meridian Hill, overlooking its emerald park, this building played a unique role in World War II. Built by the federal government, completed in 1942, it began life as The Meridian Hill Hotel for Women. It became a home to Howard University students in the late ‘60s. Today, it’s a contributing feature to the Meridian Hill historic district. The soul of this pioneering spirit is alive and well with forward-thinking design that provides enlightening spaces to socialize, revitalize, and soothe your soul.
