ANDREW W. MELLON AUDITORIUM

Washington D.C.

The Mellon Auditorium’s Large Meeting Room recently went through its first comprehensive restoration in its 85 year history. The work included the repair, honing and polishing of the marble wall panels; the cleaning, repair and re-gilding of its Dutch metal ornamental finishes; the regrouting of its mortar joints; the replacement of its White Oak strip flooring; and the restoration of the auditorium’s doors, among many other updates.

Since its establishment in 1935, the Mellon Auditorium has witnessed many significant events, such as the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty that led to the formation of NATO. In recent times, this venue has hosted various events like concerts, weddings, and has even been featured in movies and TV shows such as “The West Wing,” “Transformers,” and “Top Chef.”
