Description: The Embassy of Indonesia located at 2020 Massachusetts Avenue, NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The building is also known as the Walsh-McLean House and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a contributing property to the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District, as well as the Dupont Circle Historic District. The 50-room mansion, designed by architect Henry Anderson, was built from 1901 to 1903 by Irish-born Thomas F. Walsh for his daugther Evalyn. It cost $853,000 to construct (about $20,000,000 in 2008). Evalyn eventually married Edward McClean, whose family owned the Washington Post. Edward negotiated in a dressing room of the house to buy his wife the Hope Diamond. She was the last private owner of the famous jewel.
