It was on the Kalorama House tour a couple of years ago and it was one of my favorites. <BR/>The interior of the Indonesian embassy it is over-the-top. The original owner wanted the main stair hall to remind him of a luxury liner with tiffany glass skylight and double curving staircases. It is like right out of the Titanic.DC Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666761849212758151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-12327900586075416432008-11-24T12:20:00.000-05:002008-11-24T12:20:00.000-05:00Toby, because of the cross streets in the grid, we...Toby, because of the cross streets in the grid, we have many buildings like this throughout dc. I should go around photographing them -it would be an interesting post!<BR/>Kwana and Julia, thanks so much!

Rounded corners are fairly typical in London architecture of the Regency/Wm IV period but one rarely encounters them in the states. It always struck me as a graceful way to terminate a corner building.<BR/>Loved this tour!!Toby Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887066048372484464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-66289036808562899752008-11-24T08:42:00.000-05:002008-11-24T08:42:00.000-05:00I have always zipped past Embassy Row in cars and ...I have always zipped past Embassy Row in cars and never got a good look at the buildings like I wanted, so it's fun to see them here.
