Convent de Bon Secours is an historic residence located in the Tenleytown neighborhood in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C.. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004. == History == The Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours was founded in France in 1824. They came to the United States in the 1880s and came to Washington in 1905 during a typhoid epidemic to provide healthcare. They were particularly beneficial during a Spanish flu outbreak after World War I.〔 The Sisters initially moved into the old rectory at St. Ann’s Church in Tenleytown. The Italianate style convent was designed by architect Maurice F. Moore and built from 1927-1928. It is a two and a half story structure covered in buff colored brick. The building is composed of a main dormitory section with a hipped roof, a chapel, a small arcaded tower, and rear loggias that are reminiscent of a Renaissance cloister.〔
