And another one:
This job was also forwarded to me, so I still know as much as you will when you have finished reading the announcement.
And in case you missed the previous overview of the operations: The Heurich House is the former home of the DC Historical Society (now City Museum) which the Heurich family reacquired and has opened as a house museum. It is late Victorian and also has connections with the German immigrant story and beer. (so if you took a job here, cheap Rolling Rock might not be an issue! Actually, if I recall correctly, the descendent who reacquired the house, also the head of the board, is the owner of the Foggy Bottom beer company)
Sorry, the address did not copy, but if you're truly interested you can find it with a little research onto their website.
