Previously the building had been home to the Austrian embassy, which vacated the premises for larger quarters, and sold the structure to Croatia in 1993. The purchase and renovation of the building was largely paid for by the Croatian-American community. In front of the embassy is a large sculpture of St. Jerome by Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović.
