Embassy of Malawi

Granville Fortesque House
1911, Nathan C. Wyeth. 2408 Massachusetts Ave. NW

Wyeth's complete control of proportions is evident in this reserved, even severe, Beaux-Arts facade. Its composition is only atypical in the large window area; notable is Wyeth's suggestion of multiple wall layers in a shallow depth.
