Description: Germany and the United States first established diplomatic relations in 1817, The year of the establishment of the German Empire. In 1894 the German embassy occupied a new chancery at 1435 Massachusetts Avenue. The building, constructed in 1873 as a private residence on a design by Adolf Cluss, was subsequently expanded to include 70 rooms, and would be occupied by German, with wartime interruptions, for nearly 50 years. In the spring of 1938, the German government approved plans for construction of a new chancery. Construction, however, was ultimately sidetracked by the war in Europe. During the war Switzerland used parts of the chancery to house its own staff. In 1945, it was deeded to the United States in the 1950s the property was razed and turned into a parking garage.
