British Embassy Building, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

The British Embassy building in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, photographed in the mid-20th century. Its French colonial-style architecture -- arched windows, balustraded balconies, and a tiled hipped roof -- was typical of diplomatic and administrative buildings constructed during the era of French Indochina, when Phnom Penh hosted embassies from numerous foreign nations.
