Wormley's Hotel
1871 – 1893
Wormley's Hotel was a five-story hotel at 1500 H Street, NW, in Washington, D.C. It was opened in 1871 by James Wormley, a free-born black man who had spent time in Europe learning fine culinary skills. The hotel became a hub for local and foreign government officials. According to historian Vann Woodward, the hotel was the site of the Wormley Agreement, which led to the Compromise of 1877 and the election of President Rutherford B. Hayes.
