Description: The Sewell-Belmont House, rebuilt after fire damage from the War of 1812, is one of the oldest houses on Capitol Hill. It has been the National Woman's Party headquarters since 1929 and contains nationally significant collections of artifacts, banners, photographs, and manuscripts relating to the Women's Suffrage Movement in 19th and 20th Century America. Funding was provided to address structural repair needs, as well as wiring, plumbing, heating and ventilation problems, and handicapped accessibility and exhibit space deficiencies.

Citation Excerpt: The conference agreement includes $400,000 for the Sewall- Belmont House. The managers are concerned that the Service has taken too long to determine an appropriate solution to making the facility handicapped accessible. The managers direct the Service to report to the Committees no later than April 1, 2005, on a final recommendation.
