The Florida House is the restored 100 year old Manning house on One Second Street N.E. in Washington, DC. Liz seen in orange in this image serves on the Florida House board and planned our tour.
I recientlyl had the opportunity visit the Florida House in our Nations Capital. The Florida House is supported by the citizens of the Florida and provides opportunities to enrich their appreciation and knwledge of our nation's government. Florida is the only State embassy in Washington, DC.
The Florida House was the result of the vision of Mrs. Rhea Chiles to have an embassy for Floridians in Washington, DC. Her husband Lawton Chiles served as a Florida State Representative, United States Senator and the Governor of Florida. The Florida House was founded in 1972.
