Wagner Roofing reroofs Georgetown University’s Healy Hall

Georgetown University was built in 1789 in Washington, D.C., and is the U.S.’ oldest Catholic university. The main campus’s Healy Hall was built between 1877-79 and is named for Patrick Healy, the first black president of a major American university.

Healy Hall, a Flemish Romanesque building, was added to the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 1964 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Georgetown University’s current president’s office is located on Healy Hall’s second floor.
