National Park Seminary in Silver Spring (Forest Glen), conveniently located close to the 495 beltway The NPS is a renovated campus that sequentially housed a hotel, casino, girls school, and hospital between 1879 and 1940. It was restored into apartments and condos in 2008. The community room was the original dining room for the hotel. Note: A refrigerator is available and there is running water, but no heating equipment. Directions: Turn onto Seminary Road (do not turn onto Seminary Lane). It is the street just before Seminary Road. Continue straight on Seminary Road. It will turn into Linden Lane. Stay on Linden to Dewitt Drive (at this point you will have entered National Park Seminary and it will look very strange). Turn right. Go through a very short tunnel to the white fountain. The entrance to the community room is just across from the fountain (there will be a stained glass sign above the door that says "Ye Olde Forest Inn". You may park in any spaces marked VISITOR, or on the street. DO NOT PARK IN ANY SPOTS MARKED RESERVED OR ON THE PARKING DECK AT THE FAR END OF THE CAMPUS. BE SURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONAL SIGNS IN AND OUT. IT'S EASIER THAN IT SOUNDS. You may want to pull up to the door to drop off your dishes and then find parking.
