Still there, still Cuban!

From Washingtonian Magazine in 2008: "A mansion on 16th Street near Meridian Hill Park, acquired by Cuba in 1916, still sits there nearly 50 years after Fidel Castro’s revolution with a brass plaque indicating that it is technically under the auspices of the Swiss but houses a Cuban Interests Section." The address is 2630 16th St NW.
