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

The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C., also known as the Clarence Moore House and the Old Canadian Embassy, is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the United States and a contributing property to the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District. The embassy is located at 1746 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C. between Scott Circle and Dupont Circle. Constructed in 1909, the Clarence Moore House is an example of Beaux Arts architecture in blond Roman brick with limestone dressings; it was used by the Canadian government until the 1980s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1973, and it is also a contributing property in a larger historic district that is also listed on the National Register.

History:

Clarence Moore residence:

Clarence Moore, a coal magnate from West Virginia and member of private clubs in Paris and New York City, chose the New York City-based architect Bruce Price and the Washington-based Jules Henri de Sibour to design his home in Washington, D.C. At the time, Sibour was a prominent architect of large residences in Washington, DC, including the Thomas T. Gaff House, Andrew Mellon Building, and the ambassadors' residences of Portugal, France, and Luxembourg. Moore purchased the land from Edward J. Stellwagen for $37,422, and construction began in September 1906 and was completed in 1909. Moore only lived in the house for three years. On April 15, 1912, Moore was one of the 1,517 passengers who drowned during the sinking of the RMS Titanic. After Moore's death, his widow, Mabelle, remarried and only used the home for diplomatic and social events.

Canadian embassy:

On May 28, 1927, Mabelle sold the home to the government of Canada for $375,000. A portion of the home's furnishings were purchased for an additional $100,000. At the time, Canada's representation to ...More...

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.
