DAR Constitution Hall is a concert hall in Washington, D.C. It was built in 1929 by the Daughters of the American Revolution to house its annual convention when membership delegations outgrew Memorial Continental Hall. Later, the two buildings were connected by a third structure housing the DAR Museum and administrative offices. DAR Constitution Hall is still owned and operated by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution. The hall was designed by architect John Russell Pope and is located at 1776 D St. NW, just east of the Department of the Interior, between the American Red Cross and the Organization of American States, across from the Ellipse in front of the White House. The hall seats 3,702 people, with 2,208 in the tiers and 1,234 on the orchestra level. Additionally, 52 boxes (containing 5 seats each) separate the orchestra from the tiers. The Hall is used for concerts, commencements, conferences, corporate meetings, and televised events. The Hall hosted the premier of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It was the location where Eddie Murphy Delirious was filmed in 1983 and Martin Lawrence Live: Runteldat was filmed in 2002. Chris Rock's HBO special and album Never Scared were recorded there in 2004. Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have both been filmed at the Hall. Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group have been held there in 2004, 2005, 2007, and will be held at the Hall again in 2008. |
