Our Dharma hall is at 4900 16th St NW, Washington D.C. hosted by the Nipponzan Miyohoji Buddhist Order inside their DC dojo temple, at the northern corner of Blagden Ave and 16th St NW.
We regret this 100-year old residential building is not wheelchair accessible. A couple stair steps get to the entrance, and bathrooms are on the ground floor with two half steps down and through a narrow hallway. Both bathrooms are single-user all-gender.
