Daniel Webster Senate Page Residence, Senate page residence in Capitol Hill, Washington D.C., United States.
The Daniel Webster Senate Page Residence is a dormitory on Capitol Hill that houses students serving as assistants in the Senate. The building contains residential spaces, dining facilities, and a basement school where residents attend classes.
The building originally served as a funeral home before being transformed into a student residence through a major renovation completed in 1995. This conversion allowed the Senate to provide housing for young assistants from across the country.
Senate pages receive education at the basement school while living in separate male and female quarters under supervision of graduate student proctors.
Visitors must present identification at the entrance as the residence is protected by security personnel. Access is restricted since it functions as a private student housing facility.
The building was among the first Capitol Hill properties to be repurposed from commercial use into student housing, setting a pattern for future adaptive reuse projects in the neighborhood. Its conversion demonstrated how existing structures could serve new community needs.
