James C. Dent House

James C. Dent House is a historic home at 156 Q Street, Southwest, Washington, D.C., in the Buzzard Point neighborhood.
James C. Dent was born enslaved in 1855 in southern Maryland. He was a laborer, and he married Mary, a seamstress. In 1885, they helped found the Mount Moriah Baptist Church. It served as a Community Assistance Center.
Currently, Pepco owns the property. Living Classrooms Foundation began operating the facility in 2019 as a community center to deliver hands-on education and workforce development programming serving residents of all ages living in the surrounding public housing communities of DC's Ward 6.
