Note
The Meridian Hill Hotel was built in 1942 as a government-owned residence hall for women war-workers. Men were allowed only in the waiting room, and prohibited to enter other floors. In 1948 it was sold but continued as a hotel run exclusively for women. In 1968 the hotel was closed and converted into a Howard University dormintory. .
