Lonely Planet review for Meridian International Center
Many people who have lived in Washington for years haven’t even heard of Meridian House, which isn’t surprising –this impressive mansion does spring out of nowhere, looking like the headquarters for some world-dominating secret society. In fact, it’s an education and hospitality center for DC’s international community; the interior grounds are as impressive as the exterior facade. John Russell Pope built the structure to resemble a French country chateau, complete with a stately walled entrance, a charming cobblestone courtyard and a decorated limestone facade.
