The Bolsheviks tore it down in 1931, and the site hosted a swimming pool until the cathedral was re-erected in the 1990s.

The embassy building, erected in 1933 to house Soviet artists and composers, costs the U.S. an annual rent of 250,000 rubles (about $62,500). Shoddily made and shy of electrical outlets for the gadget-loving Americans, 13-15 Mokhovaya also has its advantages-it is only a mile from the Ambassador's residence (a pre-revolutionary palace called Spaso House), and has a window on the Kremlin, across a couple of acres of police-guarded asphalt...
