The Historic Kappa House Restoration Foundation (HKHRF) is a non-profit organization in Washington, DC dedicated to preserving and restoring historic sites in the nation's capital. Founded in 2008, HKHRF has worked to restore and preserve numerous historic sites in Washington, DC, including the Kappa House.
The Kappa House was built in 1887 and is located on the corner of 13th and M Streets, NW. It was originally constructed as a home for the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, and it is now the only remaining fraternity house from this period. The building is a two-story, wood-frame structure with a wrap-around porch and a large, hipped roof. The foundation of the house is constructed of brick and stone.
HKHRF has worked to restore the house to its original appearance, including repairing the roof, restoring the windows and doors, and replacing the porch columns. The foundation also raised funds to upgrade the interior of the house by restoring the original hardwood floors and installing new electrical and plumbing.
HKHRF also offers educational opportunities to the public with its Kappa House History Center, which features exhibits about the history of the Kappa House, the fraternity, and the neighborhood in which it is located. The organization also offers tours of the house, as well as programs and events for the local community.
