Joseph Beale House, Romanesque Revival residence in Embassy Row, USA
The Joseph Beale House at 2301 Massachusetts Avenue features a convex facade and intricate plasterwork within its limestone and stucco exterior walls.
Built between 1907 and 1909 by architect Glenn Brown, the residence earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in May 1973.
Since 1928, the building has functioned as the residence of the Egyptian ambassador, hosting numerous diplomatic functions and international gatherings.
The residence stands at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and R Street, facing Sheridan Circle on a distinctive pie-shaped property.
The interior spaces follow an unusual pattern, with ground floor areas narrowing toward the rear staircase while upper levels extend toward the street.
