Building history

Designed by local architect George Oakley Totten, Jr. in 1909, the Mediterranean Revival style building originally served as the residence of Amaryllis Gillett. Subsequent owners included Congressman Gilbert M. Hitchcock and the International Institute of Interior Design (IIID). After the IIID merged with Marymount University in 1990, the property remained vacant until it was purchased by the Armenian government in 1995. The $2.3 million purchase of the structure and its later renovations were paid for in part by substantial donations from the Armenian American community. The 2009 property value of the Armenian embassy is $3,675,890.

gollark: Sure. However, I think it would be better if it didn't obligate you to take any job you're offered and do interviews etc. constantly.
gollark: This would probably be bad.
gollark: It is making people do extra busywork for no valid reason.
