Wikipedia Description: Embassy of Cuba in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC, is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Cuba to the United States of America. It is located at 2630 16th Street Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. The building was originally constructed in 1917 as the Cuban embassy, and served in that capacity until the United States severed relations with Cuba in 1961. On July 1, 2015, US President Barack Obama announced the formal restoration of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba. The building resumed its role as the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. on July 20, 2015.

History

From the 1970s until 2015, the former Cuban Embassy housed the Cuban Interests Section in the United States. The Cuban Interests Section and its counterpart, the US Interests Section in Havana, were formally sections of the respective embassies of Switzerland (acting as protecting power), although they operated as embassies independently of the Swiss in virtually all but protocol respects.

On May 19, 1979, Omega 7 detonated a bomb in the building, which did more damage to the Embassy of Lithuania next door.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2009 photos: Overnight trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
