El Salvadorean Consulate & UN Mission

 consulate / consular section / consul residence, diplomatic / foreign mission / representation

4-story government building completed in 1910. Designed by Francis G. Stewart and Marc Eidlitz & Son as a townhouse for E.W. Sheldon who was chairman of U.S. Trust. It is faced in limestone and granite with an interior formerly by Theo. Hofstatter & Co. The building now houses the Consulate General of El Salvador and Permanent Mission of El Salvador to the United Nations.

The facade is three bays wide, with the entrance at the south bay of the ground floor. There are low basement windows at the other two bays, with square-headed windows above them, all with iron grilles. The three ground-floor bays have drip moldings and are topped by a modillioned cornice. The 2nd floor has larger windows, with the center one being wider, and angled, projecting piers between them. These have ornamental caps at the bottoms and tops, extending into the spandrels below and above. The windows on the 3rd floor have drip moldings, and those on the top floor are underlined by a dentil course. The facade is crowned by a stone roof cornice with modillions, dentils, and a patterned frieze. A flagpole has been attached below the center bay of the 2nd floor.
