Embassy Building

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. The Argentine Government purchased the building in 1913 shortly after Mr. Huff passed away.  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 1913 by another prominent architect Clarke Waggaman for the Embassy of Argentina.
