Begun as a White House Millennium Project in 2000, the Secretary of State’s Register of Culturally Significant Property is an honorary designation for U.S. Department of State properties recognized for their exceptional importance to diplomacy and cultural heritage. From palatial residences and purpose-built, Modernist icons to the timelessness of a cemetery, the architectural treasures on the Secretary’s Register illustrate the historic nature of our diplomatic mission around the world and its poignancy today.
