About Halcyon House
Halcyon is headquartered in Halcyon House, a historic 18th century mansion located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
This building was built beginning in 1787 by the first Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Stoddert, who used it as his residence. During this time Halcyon House was considered the center of much of Washington social life, with an entrance in what is now the back of the building, amidst gardens designed by Pierre L’Enfant, the famed planner of the city of Washington.
The property changed hands several times over the years, at one point belonging to the eccentric Albert Clemens, and at another point serving as a dormitory for nearby Georgetown University. Long-time Washingtonians may remember that for a time in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was used primarily as an event venue, but when it was purchased by Dr. Sachiko Kuno in 2011, she envisioned a greater use for the space, and the idea for Halcyon started to take shape.
