The Friends Meeting of Washington is a Quaker community that is also home to other religious services, including DC Minyan.
The Meeting House was originally built in 1930 and has been expanded and renovated since that time. It still retains its charm and beautiful architecture, and it includes the Spanish Steps, a popular photo backdrop. It is located on Florida Avenue NW near Dupont Circle.
The venue is ADA-accessible.
