McCormick House is the residence of the Brazilian ambassador to the United States. It is located at 3000 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Embassy Row neighborhood.
History
It was commissioned in 1908, from John Russell Pope by Robert Sanderson McCormick and Katherine Medill MacCormick, and was completed in 1931.
The Brazilian embassy purchased the home in 1934, for $200,000. The Brazilians were the second nation to have an embassy on what is today Embassy Row. In 1971 a new chancery was constructed next door. The very modern structure was designed by Brazilian architect Olavo Redig de Campos.
