Does anyone remember reading about a house in DC owned by a shadowy Republican organization? [View all]

I’m trying to remember what it was called, so I can look it up. If memory serves, it was a gathering place for ultra-conservative/religious elected Republicans. I think some of them actually lived there as well, and it was a place where they were indoctrinated into the creepy right-wing agenda. I haven’t heard it mentioned for a long time, but I wonder if there’s a through line from that house to what happened to the Republican Party, even before *Rump.
