The House

Quincy House is a home to Catholic graduate students from across North America, located in the historic Brookland neighborhood of the District of Columbia.

A "Best of Quincy, vol. 1" is anticipated within the next year.

Residents of Quincy House have been known to study philosophy, theology and national security at CUA, the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at The Catholic University of America, and The Institute of World Politics, respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word house:

    There are no such oysters, terrapin, or canvas-back ducks as there were in those days; the race is extinct. It is strange how things degenerate.... I passed, the other day, the deserted house of Mrs. Gerry, which I used to think so lordly. It stands alone now amid the surrounding sky-scrapers, and reminds me of Don Quixote going out to fight the windmills. It should always remain to mark the difference between the past and the present.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    The house one story high in front, three stories
    On the end it presented to the road.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
