It is the oldest free-standing building in the neighborhood, designed by one of the most famous architects of his time, Thomas Franklin Schneider in the Queen Anne style and built in 1893 for the residence of the family of W.H. Moses, owner of a renowned furniture and carpet store. In 1925 it was redesigned to its current neo-classical appearance.
The house on 2129 Wyoming Avenue is a symbol of a life and an era of Washington DC. This historic property began the transformation of Sheridan-Kalorama , from a rural forest to one of the elite residential areas of the US Capital.
Moses House served as a French Embassy and Chancery from the 1940s until 1984.
After the French Embassy sold the property, it remained vacant and the building physically deteriorated thus loosing its glory. This changed when the property was acquired by the Republic of Macedonia for the purpose of serving as an Embassy and Residence of the Ambassador.
In 2004 the renovation project was initiated and the full glory of the building was revived on October 26, 2005 when it became the new home of the Embassy of the Republic of Macedonia in Washington DC.
