Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. EMBMEX_180330_01.JPG: "The Seven Buildings" Erected c. 1795 The Embassy of Mexico incorporates the two surviving facades of a set of seven row houses known as "The Seven Buildings". This complex has an intimate relationship with American history, and the Government of Mexico is proud to honor and preserve this landmark's legacy. At the dawn of the 1800's this complex housed the Declaration of Independence. Later, it was one of the early homes of the Department of State. Most famously, the Seven Buildings housed President James Madison and his wife Dolly between 1815 and 1817, while the White House was being rebuilt in the aftermath of the war of 1812. As a testament to the strength and depth of the ties that bind our two countries and peoples, Mexico commemorates the bicentennial of its independence and the centennial of its revolution with this plaque for the people of Washington DC. and of the United States Of America.

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

The Embassy of Mexico in Washington, D.C. houses the diplomatic mission from Mexico to the United States.

Location

The Embassy located at 1911 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Prior to this, from 1921–1989, the Embassy was located in MacVeagh House on 16th Street. The Government of Mexico purchased the House for $330,000 and immediately added a chancery wing to meet its function as an Embassy. However, by the mid 80s the number of staff had grown and the house could no longer accommodate the Embassy comfortably. The Embassy was moved to its current location, albeit without its consular division, which stayed at the MacVeagh House. In 1990, the Mexican Cultural Institute was also moved into the building.

The building that the Embassy now occupies was built in 1986 and incorporates the façades of the last two remaining of the Seven Buildings–some of the oldest residential structures in Washington, D.C.
