Description
Hotel Washington opened in 1918 and remains standing today, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Due to its location across the street from the Treasury Department and proximity to the White House, the hotel has remained relevant to the city's so-called Financial District.
Its interest to OpenValley concerns a 1931 conference held there by the Conference on the Cause and Cure of War. The pacifist organization, led by Carrie Chapman Catt, was attended by Caledonia resident Isabel Fraser Harmon due to her affiliation with the Young Women's Christian Association. The YWCA was one of eleven women's organizations supporting the conference--including the American Association of University Women, Woman's Christian Temperance Union, National League of Women Voters, and more.
