The mansion, built in 1909–10 for financier Gibson Fahnestock on a design by Nathan C. Wyeth, was purchased in April 1943 by the Republic of China and became its embassy in 1952. It was relinquished in 1978 following the US recognition of the People's Republic of China and to avoid forcible repossession by the PRC.[3]
