HISTORY OF THE EMBASSY
Malaysia established its diplomatic relations with the United States of America since its independence in 1957. The first Chancery was located at the Universal Building, 1825 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. The second Chancery at 2401 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. was officiated by Malaysia’s first Prime Minister Al-Marhum YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj on October 14, 1969.

First Location: Universal Building

Washington, DC |
Second Location: 2401 Massachusetts Ave.

Current Location:
3516 International Court, N.W.
Washington, DC
The new Chancery building is located in Washington's diplomatic enclave, at the cross streets of Van Ness and Reno Road in Northwest D.C, was declared open by former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on May 15, 2002.
The architecture of the Chancery building is reminiscent of the early 20th century buildings in Malaysia. It is a juxtaposition of vernacular Malay architecture and imported western, mainly colonial British architectural elements also known as ‘Anglo-Straits’ architectural style. Visitors will enter the main reception area via an 'anjung', a greeting point in traditional Malay houses, with traditional roof structure called the 'bumbung limas'. The reception area, with a grand eight-foot long multi-faceted crystal chandelier that is shaped to compliment the geometric pattern of the marble flooring, overlooks a beautiful garden path and a set of traditional "Malacca" stairs.
On the left of the main foyer, the Tun Hussein Hall with its ornately carved walls and pillars, was conceived as a replica to the palace of the Malay Sultanate. A bronze statue of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's founding Premier, adorns the pre-function area of this Hall. Across from the Tun Hussein Hall and general reception area, is the Hall of Fame. Here can be seen photographs of past and current Prime Ministers of Malaysia meeting with former and present Presidents of the United States.
