The Embassy of India in Washington, D.C. is the embassy of the Republic of India to the United States in Washington, D.C.. The building is located at 2107 Massachusetts Avenue NW, on Embassy Row.
The chancery building consists of two adjacent buildings. One was constructed in 1885 and expanded with an additional four floors in 1907. The other, Depew House, was built in 1901. The two are "probably the oldest properties owned by the Government of India abroad." Depew House, made of granite and limestone, was built by T. Morris Murray in 18th-century French architecture style. Noted residents include U.S. Senator Peter G. Gerry (1914-1915), Undersecretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills (1928), and May Palmer Depew, widow of U.S. Senator Chauncey Depew. After the death of May Depew in 1940, her cousin leased the Depew House to several tenants, among them was the British Purchase Agency. The Government of India purchased the house in 1946 and connected it with other building.[1]
India also maintains four consulates-general in the United States:
