About the Building

Located at 1763 N St. NW, Washington D.C., in the heart of Dupont Circle, the Keiser House serves as the perfect location for a range of private and public events.

The townhouses at 1761 and 1763 N St. NW were built in 1865 and were later purchased by MEI founder George Camp Keiser to house the Institute. In 2019, the building underwent a total renovation, combining the two facades into a single structure at 23,370 square feet.

The Keiser House has been the destination for corporate events, diplomatic receptions, and family celebrations throughout its history, and offers a unique backdrop for your next gathering.
