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 Ireland, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Embassy of Ireland in Washington, D.C. is the diplomatic mission of Ireland to the United States. It is located at 2234 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., at Sheridan Circle, in the Embassy Row neighborhood.

The embassy also operates Consulates-General in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco.

As of January 2019, the current ambassador is Daniel Mulhall.

Building

Also known as the Henrietta M. Halliday House - the building is located on Massachusetts Avenue, in an area known as Embassy Row - named after the large number of embassies and diplomatic missions concentrated in the area.

The plot of land where the building currently stands was previously owned by former Republican Governor of Louisiana William P. Kellogg - who served as governor from 1873 until 1877.

In May 1906, Kellogg sold the land to Henrietta M. Halliday for a total of $12,663. Henrietta subsequently applied and was issued a permit to build a dwelling on the land in 1908. The construction of the building was completed in June 1909.

This semi-detached limestone structure was designed by local Washington D.C. architect William Penn Cresson. The structure itself has two major facades, with each facade facing onto Sheridan Circle and Massachusetts Avenue. The exterior is designed in a Louis XVI Style, while the interior consists of an 18th-century French and English style.

In 1911, the interior was extensively altered by Theodore Davis Boal's architecture firm, Boal & Brown.

Real estate speculator Harry Wardman briefly owned the property from 1926 until it was sold in 1930 during the Great Depression.

The property was purchased by the Government of Ireland in 1949 for $72,000.
