Hillsdale College Kirby Center Approved
Plans have been approved for renovations to the existing buildings along with the addition of penthouses at 227 & 233-235 Massachusetts Avenue NE. Plans also call for renovations to the plaza area in front of the buildings. Constructed in 1892, the building was originally three single-family townhouses, constructed of pressed brick in the style popular on Capitol Hill at the time. In the 1970s, the three houses were converted into one large office building, leaving the original Victorian exterior unchanged. The 16,000-square-foot building houses a large lecture hall for public lectures, educational seminars, and congressional briefings; reception parlors, classrooms, a beautiful Americanist and liberal arts reading library and study space for Hillsdale students, and offices for the Hillsdale in D.C. faculty and staff.
