The Embassy of Australia on Scott Circle is being torn down this summer. It’s very interesting to see which buildings that DC deems worthy for preservation, and which foreign-owned buildings get maintained.
I guess this one didn’t make the cut.

Apparently toward the end, the embassy was in such disrepair that scaffolding had to be erected to prevent the facade from falling onto pedestrians. At least the property is being redeveloped and not simply abandoned like some other embassies in the city.
Hopefully the the building will be treated better.
