| CCD's
home is in the 180-year-old DACOR Bacon House (also
occasionally called the Ringgold-Carroll House). Built
in 1825 by Tench Ringgold, a friend of President James
Monroe and United States Marshal for the District of
Columbia, the House had been home to several members
of Congress and the Supreme Court, the former Governor
of Maryland, and a number of others when it was purchased
by the Bacon family in 1925. Upon Mrs. Bacon's death
in 1980, the house was given to the Bacon House Foundation,
which later merged with the DACOR (Diplomatic and Consular
Officers, Retired) Education and Welfare Foundation.
Today, the DACOR-Bacon House has been adapted for the
use of organizations, like CCD, that seek to advance
international understanding and friendship.
The
DACOR Bacon House is at: 1801 F Street NW, in Washington,
DC.
