Embassy House

Product Information

Ambassador and Mrs. Walter H. Annenberg made a tremendous contribution to the house during their tenure from 1969 to 1974. They not only refurbished the house from top to bottom, modernizing the whole infrastructure and adding a new roof, but also furnished it with the most carefully chosen and valuable pieces of furniture, beautiful paintings and precious objets d’art. A chandelier from an Indian palace was bought for the reception hall. Bedrooms and reception rooms were redecorated by William Haines, Ted Graber and Dudley Poplak. The tennis court was resurfaced and the indoor swimming pool repainted. In the gardens old and ailing trees were replaced with fully-grown conifers brought from Scotland. Then a box garden and new trelliswork were added.

Leonard Rome Guthrie, a partner in the firm Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie, was commissioned to design the new house. The spacious, well-conceived ground floor plans are Guthrie’s original design, although the front entrance was added in 1954. The large reception hall runs nearly the depth of the house to the French doors that open to the terrace. The drawing rooms are to the right, the family dining room, the state dining room, the kitchen and staff offices to the left.

(Embassy will soon open a separate, more low-key project for homeless women fleeing domestic violence.) As well as paying rent, they must commit to six hours a week of training in shopping, cooking and budgeting. “I wanted to get away from the shelter model where you sort of accidentally become a parent, going, ‘Oh, I’ll do the shopping. And I’ll do the cleaning. And I’ll do the cooking,’” said Williams. March 2021 updates for London Diplomatic List, Honorary Consulates within the UK and Consular Offices outside London
