As Rhodesia House, it served as the High Commission of Southern Rhodesia from 1923 until the Rhodesian UDI on November 11 , 1965 . Rhodesia was unique in being the only British Colony to have a High Commission, as only Dominion s (and later, independent Commonwealth members) were represented by such legations. After the UDI, Rhodesia's High Commissioner , Brigadeer Andrew Skeen was declared '' Persona Non Grata '' by the British Government and ordered to leave the country. However, because of concerns over diplomatic property under International Law , Rhodesia House was not seized by the British Government. It simply became a Representative Office with no official diplomatic status, until the colony gained independence as Zimbabwe in 1980 . EXTERNAL LINK |
