Poland to refit Paris embassy with American loan funds
Polish circles say nearly half a million dollars borrowed in the United States will be used to purchase and renovate the Paris embassy mansion on Quai de Bethisy. The property, once owned by Robert McCormick, cost the equivalent of 120 000, with 200 000 needed for renovations. The project mirrors the American embassy’s rapid progress in Paris as Myron T. Herrick prepares for occupancy next spring. The piece also notes fashion, Russian émigré staff, and a French institute proposal, alongside housing statistics and racecourse receipts for Paris in 1924.
