THE AMERICA FOR BULGARIA FOUNDATION (ABF)
Sofia, Bulgaria
The America for Bulgaria Foundation (ABF) purchased the former United States Ambassador’s residence in central Sofia as its new headquarters. Originally designed in 1936 by the architectural office of Stancho Belkovski & Ivan Danchov, the building is considered a remarkable example of Bulgarian Modernism reflecting the strong design influence of the German Bauhaus. It served as the Ambassador’s residence from 1947 until 2020.
