Bethune made her home in the townhouse from 1943 to 1955.〔Pohlen, Jerome. ''Progressive Nation: A Travel Guide With 400+ Left Turns and Inspiring Landmarks.'' Chicago: Chicago Review Press, 2008, p. 174.〕 She purchased it for $15,500.〔Holland, Jesse J. ''Black Men Built the Capitol: Discovering African-American History In and Around Washington, D.C.'' Guilford, Conn.: Globe Pequot Press, 2007, p. 93.〕 Bethune lived on the third floor, while the National Council of Negro Women occpied the first and second floors. The floor plan of the home remains unchanged from the days when Bethune lived there, and most of the furnishings are original to the home and owned by Bethune and the NCNW.〔Minetor, Randi. ''Passport to Your National Parks Companion Guide: National Capital Region.'' Guilford, Conn.: Falcon, 2008, p. 82.〕
