Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream

Overview

Originally constructed in 1836, the former Riggs National Bank building located just steps away from the White House, is the future home of the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream. All stakeholders have worked to maintain the historic integrity and character of the building by preserving original design elements while incorporating elegant, modern touches - like Synergi's cantilevered stairs with glass treads, glass guardrails, and solid bronze handrails. Completed in 2023, the museum "tells the story of the American Dream through the eyes of people who have sought the American Dream, but we’ll also be asking people to define their American Dream,” according to CAAD President, Kerry Murphy Healey.
