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

The Brazilian Embassy in Washington is the diplomatic mission of Brazil to the United States. The current embassy is located on Embassy Row at 3006 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington D.C..

The United States was the first country to recognize Brazil's independence and the nation's first legation was thus established in Washington. It was founded January 1, 1824 when Jos� Silvestre Rebello presented his credentials to President James Monroe. In 1905 the legation was raised to a full embassy. The embassy had several homes in the district until in 1934 it purchased McCormick House, a large manor on Massachusetts Avenue, just down the street from the new British embassy. The Brazilians were the second nation to have an embassy on what is today an area home to dozens.

The manor today remains the ambassadorial residence. In 1971 a new chancery was constructed next door. The very modern structure was designed by Brazilian architect Olavo Redig de Campos.

2011 photos: Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
