The building was designed by architect George Oakley Totten Jr. (1866-1939), who studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and who also designed the Old Hungarian Embassy building next door at 2537 Fifteenth St. [3] : 13 

The embassy also operates Consulates-General in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Long Island City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New Haven, New York City, Newark and Phoenix. [4]

The chancery suffered damage in the 2011 Virginia earthquake on August 24, 2011. [2] The earthquake caused cracks on internal walls and collapsed three of the building's chimneys. [2] The chimney collapse damaged two cars. [2]

On September 27, 2017, a two alarm fire broke out on the roof of the chancery. [5]
