Indonesian Embassy

This is the Tiffany (yes, cherie, tiffany) ceiling at the Indonesian embassy. This was originally a house that cost $835,000 to build in 1902 (for an Irish immigrant who struck gold in Colorado). The daughter of the owner bought the hope diamond from Cartier. The house was sold for $335,000 in 1951 to Indonesia. CRAZY!
