Old North is the oldest surviving academic building at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., built in 1795 in the Georgian style by architect Leonard Harbaugh. Constructed of brick, this building was among the grandest structures in the capital at the time of its completion and served as the university's flagship until the arrival of Healy Hall. Positioned between Healy Hall to the east and New North to the west, with Dahlgren Chapel enclosed by its southern façade, Old North now houses the McCourt School of Public Policy and is recognized as a contributing property on the National Register of Historic Places.
