Access: private access to The Mansion for entertaining is available to members in good standing and their guests. We require that you give us written notice at least 48 hours in advance so we may check availability. This helps us to respect the privacy of ALL of our members; after all, you wouldn't want other members milling around your private event.
Busses & Vehicles Seating More Than 12 Passengers: busses and vehicles seating more than 12 passengers are strictly prohibited on o street or 21st street, per city regulations. all buses and vehicles that seat over 12 passengers must discharge and pick up passengers at 20th and o streets, which is four houses away-or the corner of hopkins and p, which is six houses away. mansion staff will meet your bus and walk guests here. make sure you understand this rule, because a bus cannot even go down 21st street or o street without incurring a city fine! (we had a bar mitzvah recently where the bus stopped one block away, but the police would not permit the kids to make the short walk to the mansion, delaying the start of the party 35 minutes!) a $750.00 mandatory fee, for which you are responsible, will be assessed for each bus, van and limo that violates this rule.

Handicapped accessible busses are exempt from d.c. regulations, however we must notify the d.c. government one week in advance of your arrival. Failure to notify us one week in advance will result in a $750.00 mandatory fee per bus.

please let us know in advance the number and types of buses you intend to use as well as the number of guests arriving by bus, so that the mansion may assist you in making the proper arrangements and avoiding penalties.
Library Loans: books at The Mansion are for members to enjoy. If you would like to take books and cds to enjoy feel free, all we ask is that you bring it back when you are finished so others can enjoy it too.
