Facility Overview

Situated at 1776 D St NW in the heart of Washington, D.C.\'s historic federal and cultural corridor, this covered parking facility provides crucial, stress-free vehicle parking directly adjacent to DAR Constitution Hall and Memorial Continental Hall. Positioned just southwest of the White House and north of the National Mall, this multi-level underground parking structure features paved bays, well-lit driving lanes, and clearly marked stalls. The garage accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs with ease. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks and tall commercial vans should note the standard subterranean clearance height (typically 6\'4\" to 6\'6\"), as roof racks and oversized utility bars may exceed vertical ceiling and pipe clearances.
