Florida House on Capitol Hill, State embassy near Supreme Court in Washington, DC, United States.
Florida House on Capitol Hill occupies a Victorian-style row house at the corner of East Capitol and Second Street with direct views of the US Capitol. The building serves as a visitor center and information hub about the state.
The building was constructed in 1891 and opened in 1973 as the first state house in Washington, DC. This launched the trend of states establishing their own representation centers in the nation's capital.
The interior features furniture from the late 1800s and displays artwork representing different regions of Florida. The rooms tell the story of the state's diversity and heritage through their decoration.
Entry requires no reservation and the house offers complimentary orange juice and information materials. It sits in a central Capitol Hill location, making it easy to reach on foot from the Capitol or by public transit.
The building operates entirely on private donations and sponsorships without government funding. This independence makes it a rare example of a privately sustained official representation center in the capital.
