The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C., (also known as the Clarence Moore House and the Old Canadian Embassy), is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the United States. The current Ambassador of Uzbekistan to the United States is Furqat Sidikov.[3] The embassy is located at 1746 Massachusetts Avenue NW on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C., between Scott Circle and Dupont Circle.[4] Constructed in 1909, the Clarence Moore House is an example of Beaux Arts architecture in blond Roman brick with limestone dressings; it was used by the Canadian government until the 1980s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on April 3, 1973.[5] The building is also designated a contributing property to the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District and Dupont Circle Historic District, which are both listed on the NRHP.[6]
