Previously the embassy had been housed in a mansion further north of embassy row. This building today serves as the ambassadorial structure. The building was originally built for Edward Hamlin Everett a bottling millionaire in 1915. It was designed by George Oakley Totten, Jr. who had spent a brief period in Turkey as the official architect for Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid. The Turkish government leased the building in 1932 and purchased it four years later.
