The historical building is the Old Naval Hospital, a landmark of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, that has been transformed into Hill Center, a vibrant, campus-like hub for cultural enrichment, lifelong learning, and civic engagement. Chef Francois Dionot will kick off cooking classes on Saturday, June 9, 2012 from 1-3:00 pm, with a mouthwatering spring menu.
