I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

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

The Embassy of Argentina in Washington, D.C. is the Republic of Argentina's diplomatic mission to the United States. It's located at 1600 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C.

Chancery

Located in the neighborhood of Dupont Circle and commissioned in 1906 by Pennsylvania Congressman George Franklin Huff, the mansion at 1600 New Hampshire Avenue NW was designed by Julian Abele (1881-1950), the first African-American graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s architecture program, when he was working with Horace Trumbauer. Mr. Huff was a delegate to the 1880 Republican National Convention, and member of the Pennsylvania State Senate (1884-1888). In 1891, he was elected to the Fifty-second Congress and reelected for five more terms. Married to Henrietta Burrell, they were the parents of eight children.

The Argentine Government purchased the building on February 20, 1913, from Mrs. Henrietta Huff, who decided to sell the house after her husband’s death in 1912.

Julian Abele designed the Widener Library at Harvard University and several buildings for Duke University in North Carolina, mansions in Newport Rhode Island and New York as well as many buildings in Washington. The ballroom was added in the decade of 1940 by another prominent architect Clarke Waggaman for the Embassy of Argentina.

At the beginning of the XX century Dupont Circle was an upscale suburb of Washington, and the Argentine Republic invested heavily given the importance put in the bilateral relation with the U.S. The Argentine Government owns a total of four houses in the block: besides the Embassy's Chancery, the Sarmiento Building, next to it and housing the Consular Section of the Embassy, and the Ambassador's Official Residence, both of them on Q Street; and the Argentine Permanent Mission to the Organization of American States, on Corcoran Street, was built as the horse quarters for the house on New Hampshire Avenue.

In 2019 the Embassy included in its website a revamped section on the history of the building, the neighborhood and the architects.

(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.
