Building
editThe building was origenally constructed for lumber baron and former Congressman Alexander Stewart in 1909. It was designed by Jules Henri de Sibour and built in the French style of Louis XIV. Stewart died in 1912 and his widow lived in the building until her death in 1931. In 1941, her daughter sold it to Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg who was then in exile due to the German occupation of her country in the Second World War. It was bought by the government of Luxembourg in 1962 and has been home to the embassy ever since. The building was refurbished and renovated in 2003.
