Embassy of Brazil in Washington
- Embassy of Brazil in Washington
The Brazilian Embassy in Washington is the embassy of Brazil in Washington D.C.. The current embassy is located on Embassy Row at 3006 Massachusetts Ave. NW.
The United States was the first country to recognize Brazil's independence and the nation's first legation was thus established in Washington. It was founded January 1, 1824 when José Silvestre Rebello presented his credentials to President Monroe. In 1905 the legation was raised to a full embassy. The embassy had several homes in the district until in 1934 it purchased McCormick House, a large manor on Massachusetts Avenue, just down the street from the new British Embassy. The Brazilians were the second nation to have an embassy on what is today an area home to dozens.
The manor today remains the ambassadorial residence. In 1971 a new chancery was constructed next door. The very modern structure was designed by Brazilian architect Olavo Redig de Campos.
