Dear Ms. Oliver,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the United States Consular Records for Nice, France, 1849 - 1935 in the Records of the Foreign Service Posts of the Department of State (Record Group 84) that includes 107 file units for the 1920s. These file units should contain some documents that have letterhead that might include the address of the Consulate, although it is rare for a complete street address. For access to these documents, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT2. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Dear Jeanne Oliver,

Thank you for submitting your question to History Hub. If you are looking for specific location information on a US Consulate prior to 1952, that information may be contained in their Official Personnel Folder for their Department of State service. You may request the OPF by writing to stl.archives@nara.gov. OPFs often detail the various assignment locations as well as in any relevant correspondence included.

Best,
