When and where.  (Hints, I've visited the building and it is not in a statistical metropolitan area.)

Not necessarily - the Supreme Court building is presently in the Capitol Complex (i.e. under the jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol)  and previous to that generally met in the Capitol building itself.

In this case, it was outside both the Capital and the Capitol.

I'll give a big hint; Dred Scott was discussed, though not decided.

Not really.

Hint:  The site has hosted Presidents and Japanese Diplomats.

No.  Last clue, it "hosted" the Japanese Diplomats in 1945.

Given the Dred Scott thingy, I could probably look the place up. But that'd feel like cheating so I won't.

Here is the answer. 

The Bedford Springs Hotel, near Bedford, PA.  It was where James Buchanan summered and it was used to house Japanese Diplomats captured when Germany collapsed.
