Site Tour: Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument
This Women’s History Month, please join the DC Preservation League for a special tour of the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument located in Capitol Hill.
Home to the National Woman’s Party for more than 90 years, this space was the epicenter of the struggle for women’s rights. From this house in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court, Alice Paul and the NWP developed innovative strategies and tactics to advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment and equality for women. President Barack Obama designated the national monument on April 12, 2016.
The tour will include history of the house and its critical role in the fight for women’s rights, and details regarding the most recent renovation to the house that was completed in 2023. Funded through the Great American Outdoors Act, the work included replacement of the existing standing seam metal roof, rehabilitation of historic windows and doors; upgrades to the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems; structural and plaster repairs; and renovation of the Florence Bayard Hilles Feminist Library, including installation of a new fire sprinkler system.
Space is limited! Register today to secure your spot.
This event is free, but a $10 donation is suggested to support the DC Preservation League’s educational programming.
