EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "French Commission To U.S. - Residence of Henry White, Loaned To Commission, 1917," captures the grandeur of the White-Meyer House at 1624 Crescent Place, Northwest, Washington, D.C. Designed by renowned architect John Russell Pope and built for American ambassador Henry White in the 1910s, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the rich history of international relations between France and the United States. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases the residence's impressive entrance, adorned with American and French flags. The gates, flanked by two stately men, add an air of exclusivity and importance. The lush lawn and garden, meticulously manicured, provide a serene contrast to the grandeur of the building. The White-Meyer House, also known as the French Embassy, served as the French headquarters during World War I. The residence was later sold to the French government in 1931 and has continued to serve as the French embassy to this day. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a significant historical document, capturing a moment in time when diplomacy and international relations were shaping the course of history. The image, taken by George Harris or one of his sons, George William Harris or Guy Harris, is a reminder of the important role that architecture and diplomacy play in shaping the world around us.
