2 年What a fantastic listing - this is one of those rare "iconic" properties that deserve to be protected - it is tied into the history of the country - what better way to say "we are here for the long haul" - a fabulous embassy use or profile consulting operation. #owneruser#officebuilding#forsale#historicbuildings
