Ambassador Paul Altidor

The Embassy of Haiti in Washington, D.C., is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Haiti to the United States. It is located at 2311 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Embassy Row neighborhood.[1]

The Ambassador is Paul Altidor.[2]

The mansion, built in 1909–10 for financier Gibson Fahnestock on a design by Nathan C. Wyeth, was purchased in April 1943 by the Republic of China and became its embassy in 1952. It was relinquished in 1978 following the US recognition of the People's Republic of China and to avoid forcible repossession by the PRC.[3]
