The Old North Building, or simply Old North, is the oldest extant academic building on the campus of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,[4] and was the second major building built on the campus.[1] To the east, the building is joined to Healy Hall and to the west, it is joined to New North,[5] while the southern façade of the building encloses Dahlgren Chapel.[2] Built in the Georgian style, Old North was one of the grandest buildings in Washington at the time of its completion in 1795.[6] It served as the flagship of the university until the construction of Healy Hall.[6] Old North currently houses the McCourt School of Public Policy.[7]
