The Washington Literary Society and Debating Union (also known as "the Washington Society" or "the Wash") is a literary and debating group at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

[edit] Washington Hall

Washington Hall was built in 1826 and served as the Society's meeting place. In 1869, the reorganized society expanded the hall to its current dimensions. The University took possession of the Hall sometime after 1929 when there was no Society to maintain the building. Washington Hall now houses the University of Virginia's Office of Equal Opportunity Programs.
