Adelaide L. T. Douglas House, Historic residence in Murray Hill, Manhattan, US
The six-story limestone structure at 57 Park Avenue features French Classic architectural elements, including a rusticated base and second-story balcony.
Built between 1909 and 1911 for Adelaide Townsend Douglas, the residence became the permanent mission of Guatemala to the United Nations in 1978.
The mansion represents early 20th-century residential architecture of Murray Hill, when wealthy New Yorkers constructed grand homes along Park Avenue.
The limestone building stands between East 37th and 38th streets, maintaining its original exterior despite conversion from private residence to diplomatic offices.
The construction resulted from a settlement after the previous building suffered damage during the excavation of New York City's first subway line.
