The Mary Church Terrell House, located in Washington, D.C., is a historic home that once belonged to civil rights leader Mary Church Terrell. As the first black woman to serve on an American school board, Terrell was a key figure in the desegregation of public accommodations in the nation's capital.
Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975, the house is a contributing property in the LeDroit Park Historic District. Following a restoration project supported by various organizations, the house stands as a testament to Terrell's legacy and contributions to the civil rights movement.
