FCNL's building is a "place just right," strategically located on Capitol Hill across the street from the Hart Senate Office building and just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol. We returned to the renovated building in the fall of 2005.
When architects warned FCNL that our historic, Civil War-era structure was literally falling down, FCNL's General Committee saw this crisis as an opportunity to create a building on Capitol Hill that would ensure the next 60 years of FCNL’s work in bringing a Quaker perspective to public policy. It has also become a tangible metaphor for our work. Just as we had architects and engineers and workers who shored up the foundation of this building, we now need architects and engineers who can make the House of Democracy safe and strong and reflective of the values of all people in the U.S.
