In addition to the usual offices, meeting rooms, and consular waiting area, the location has a multipurpose space used to host cultural events and exhibits. This multipurpose room is named "David Tiano Room" in memoriam of a U.S. Consulate Jewish employee who was arrested by the Nazis when the U.S. declared war on Germany in December 1941.  Tiano was arrested together with two other Consulate employees, Karasso and Vafiades and they were all sent to a concentration camp in Thessaloniki.  While Karasso and Vafiadis were released after spending several months in prison, Tiano was executed on February 7, 1942.
