Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Robert Pohl
Antonia and Robert have lived in Capitol Hill since 2004 and have become very much a part of the neighborhood. Robert went from researching the history of their house to becoming a licensed D.C. tour guide - all while being a stay-at-home dad. He is happy to tell you all about the history of the house, the neighborhood, and the city itself. If you are interested he is also available for tours of the city, from introductory tours of the monuments to a deep look at local neighborhoods.
Why they chose this property
While the house was built in 1913 and was inhabited for most of the first 50 years by the government clerks who defined Capitol Hill in that time, it gained historical importance in the early 1970s, when the Furies, a radical group of Lesbian feminists used the house to write, edit, and publish their newspaper, also called "The Furies." While the collective used the whole house - a number of them lived there, as well - the basement was the focal point of their work, as pictures from the time attest. While little direct evidence of the time remains, memories of the time linger, and were even given the imprimatur of the National Park Service's National Registry of Historic Places in 2016.
What makes this property unique
Capitol Hill grew as a neighborhood between 1880 and 1920, and retains its residential character. The same amenities that entice people to move here are also key to its draw for visitors: Lots of good restaurants of all types and price ranges, excellent connections to all the main sights of Washington via Metro and bus, small businesses with a wide array of unique products for sale. Staying in the Furies House will give you the opportunity to explore a neighborhood that has been rated one of the best in D.C. by Frommer's, Timeout, and Lonely Planet.
There are amenities close by, a cute cafe 1-1/2 blocks away, a convenience market 1/2 a block, as well as full-service grocery stores including Trader Joe's within easy walking distance.
