History

The United States and Bolivia first established diplomatic relations in 1837, when the latter was part of the Peru–Bolivian Confederation, which dissolved two years later. Relations resumed in 1848, when John Appleton was appointed chargés d'affaires .

The legation was previously housed at 507 Massachusetts Avenue, later moving to 1633 16th Street NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The latter was built in 1890 and designed by W. Bruce Gray, being part of Sixteenth Street Historic District.

The current building is located at Embassy Row. Additionally, Bolivia also has a Permanent Mission to the Organization of American States (OAS), located at 1929 19th Street NW, in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. The latter was built by John Nolan in 1908 for real estate developer Charles H. Davidson, with a design by Wood, Donn & Deming.
