Original B&W version: Library of Congress

I used the TIFF format to colorize it.

Photo was taken by Abdullah Frères.

The embassy was built in 1868 in Therapia, Constantinople (Istanbul), but completely burned down in 1911.

It was located here 106 years ago.

You can read its story if you are interested.
