Building

The building was the Embassy of Austria, which vacated it 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.
