The Consulate General of Italy, formerly the Henry P. and Kate T. Davison House, at 690 Park Avenue, was built by Walker & Gillette in 1917. The northern terminus of four landmark townhouses on this block, called Pyne-Davison Blockfront due to the uniform architectural quality, this English Georgian-style brick house was erected as a residence for Henry Pomeroy Davison, one of the founders of the Bankers Trust and a partner of J.P. Morgan. The building remained a residence some time after his death. Marshall Field, Anson W. Burchard, Henry the thirt-third, Prince of Reuss and Harry Payne Bingham all lived there. In 1952 it was converted into the Italian consulate.
The Henry P. and Kate T. Davison House was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1970.

Several hundred people have staged a protest march in Hong Kong in support of US-whistleblower Edward Snowden. Demonstrators marched from Chater Garden to the US Consulate in Central. Protesters accused the US government of infringing people's rights and privacy. They said Mr Snowden should be protected. The former CIA-employee, has said he'll stay in Hong Kong to fight any attempt to extradite him to the United States. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong has urged the US government to clarify whether it has hacked into the computers of any individuals, corporations or institutions in Hong Kong.
Ukrainians in Barcelona have gathered in front of the consulate to mourn the victims of the war with Russia in Eastern Ukraine (Donetsk, Lugansk, Mariupol, Volnovakha and other cities).
Memorial to the late President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski at the Consulate-General of Poland.
“WARSAW — A plane carrying the Polish president and dozens of the country’s top political and military leaders to the site of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in World War II crashed in western Russia on Saturday, killing everyone on board.
President Lech Kaczynski’s plane tried to land in a thick fog, missing the runway and snagging treetops about half a mile from the airport in Smolensk, scattering chunks of flaming fuselage across a bare forest.
The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, wiping out a large portion of the country’s leadership in one fiery explosion. And in a bizarre twist, it happened at the moment that Russia and Poland were beginning to come to terms with the killing of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps in the same place 70 years ago.
“It is a damned place,” former President Aleksander Kwasniewski told TVN24. “It sends shivers down my spine.”
“This is a wound which will be very difficult to heal,” he said.”

This was a consulate building and for more than two centuries, that office was marked by a gilded sculpture of the US’s national symbol, a bald-headed eagle, staring over Paradise Street. The consulate stood on the quayside of Steers Dock and the Pool of Liverpool, with its glinting eagle, a reassuring sign to American sailors or travellers aboard clippers mooring alongside.
The dock has long been filled in. The quay is now a roadway and the water which the consulate once faced is now occupied by John Lewis and Liverpool One’s other new stores.
After various uses, the former consulate building became The American Eagle pub during Victorian times and finally The Eagle, before sinking into dereliction over many years.
It is now The Sony Centre but displays a plaque as you can see to tell all of it great history.

Consulate Donates Books to Immigrant Services Calgary
Vice Consul Cassy Allen presented Immigrant Services Calgary with a donation of over 25 Scholastic children’s books in support of the organization’s literacy and learning initiatives for new Calgarians. The books will be accessible through the Mosaic Family Resource Centre, an ISC service which operates parenting workshops, pre-school, and after-school programs for immigrant children. The Consulate’s book donation program is designed to foster children’s literacy, and Allen enjoyed meeting some of the young beneficiaries of the ISC’s family-centered programming. Allen also toured the facilities and met with Immigrant Services staff, including Wendy Auger (Director of the Mosaic Family Resource Centre) and Din Ladak (C.E.O. of Immigrant Services Calgary).

Climate-KIC start-ups Cohere, ViriCiti and Crystal Shower have picked up prizes at a pitching event in San Francisco on 9 September 2014.
The event saw some of Europe’s brightest cleantech entrepreneurs pitch their businesses to a judging panel of local innovation experts at an evening hosted by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco’s financial district.
Judges Shana Rappaport, Doug Davenport and Lafe Vittitoe – representing the VERGE Greenbiz Group, Prospect Silicon Valley and the Silicon Valley Bank respectively – awarded prizes to smart vehicle charging start-up Cohere, and to ViriCiti, which has developed an optimisation system for electric city buses.
Start-up Cystal Shower wooed the crowd on the 31st floor of One Montgomery Tower and picked up the Audience Award with a pitch about its self-recycling shower – which drastically cuts costs while delivering three times more water than a traditional shower.
The start-ups that participated in the event are touring the USA until 18 September as part of Climate-KIC’s US Start-up Tour 2014 and have all developed and commercialised technologies that help consumers, businesses and governments mitigate and adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Consulate Rep Visits Congregation with New England Ties
Public Affairs Officer Peter Martin recently toured the museum of the Congregation of the Little Franciscans of Mary in Baie-St-Paul. The museum (http://www.espacemusealpfm.com/, in French only) houses the archives of the Congregation and is located at the order’s Mother House. Originally established by Quebecois immigrants in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1889, the Congregation moved its headquarters to Charlevoix in 1892. Martin, a Massachusetts native himself, spoke with several of the sisters about their community work with the mentally handicapped and missionary work in Madagascar.

Établie par des immigrants québécois à Worcester au Massachusetts en 1889, la congrégation déménage son siège social dans la région de Charlevoix en 1892. Monsieur Martin, natif du Massachusetts, a discuté avec plusieurs religieuses de leur travail auprès de personnes souffrant de handicaps intellectuels et de leur missions à Madagascar.

The Consulate General of Italy in New York
The Secretary of the Council of Ministers of Italy, Maria Elena Boschi meets with the Consul General of Italy to NY, Francesco Genuardi
The Colombian Consulate General's residence. Starting from close to the 'Plaza de España', the wide, tree-lined 'Avenida de Palmera' runs north-south and is home to some of the most architecturally impressive private residences in the city - though many have now been taken over as embassies and/or consulate buildings. Seville, itself, is the capital of Andalucia and with a population of over 700,000 is Spain's 4th largest city. Situated on a plain of the River Guadalquivir, it has a history dating back to 200BC when legend has it that it was founded by Hercules. Originally it was known as 'Hispalis' under the Romans and 'Isbiliya' when under the control of the Moors. The high point in its history, not unsurprisingly, followed the discovery of America in 1492. It is a truly wonderful city to visit although in the summer months it gets very hot with temperatures routinely in excess of 40° C (104° F). Indeed, Seville, is generally regarded as the hottest city in Europe so avoid in July and August! There's so much to see in the city, starting as most visitors do with a first view of the city's emblematic 'Giralda', the bell tower of the cathedral, one of the largest in the world. There's the Alcázar Palace and gardens - perhaps not rivalling the Alhambra in its scale and architectural beauty - but not far off! Other treasures include the 'Casa de Pilatos', the 'Torre del Oro', the Ayuntaminto (Town Hall), the 'Archivo General de Indias' (where the historical records of the American continent are kept), the 'Museo de Bellas Artes' (Museum of Fine Arts) which is the second largest picture gallery in Spain. and, of course, many beautiful and revered parish churches, convents and numerous palaces. But for all its magnificent monuments, architecture and fascinating history, Seville is universally admired for being a joyous town; with 'Sevillanos' known for their wit, sparkle and vitality - hardly surprising given its association with Carmen, Don Juan and Figaro! 'Sevillanos' are great actors and put on an extraordinary performance at their annual 'Feria de Abril', a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially constructed tents. But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses. Immediately before that is Holy Week, or 'Semana Santa', a religious festival where hooded penitents march In long processions followed by huge baroque floats on which sit images of the Virgin or Christ, surrounded by cheerful crowds. Both of these events are 'must-sees' with the proviso that hotel bookings in the city should be made many months (if not years) beforehand and an acceptance that large, boisterous, always enthusiastic crowds are very much the order of the day. Wandering the tiny side streets of Seville, particularly the Jewish quarter, the 'Barrio Santa Cruz', and the vibrant (former gypsy) quarter of 'Triana', is a delight too; especially when sufficient time is set aside to sample some traditional tapas, drink some locally produced manzanilla (fino sherry) or listen to some impromptu flamenco. Seville has everything and then some! There are plenty more photos of Seville and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

Bitola (old Manastir) used to be known as the town of the consulates. It was an important stopping-off point from Istanbul to the rest of the Balkan provinces in Ottoman times, so all the major powers were represented there. Eleven still remain, including the French, Turkish and British consulates, now all housed in the same building. (Thanks to Александар for the extra info)
