The embassy was established in the 11th year of Xianfeng. After the treaty was signed, it was expanded and rebuilt. Most of the buildings were built after the 26th year of Guangxu. A pair of Chinese stone lions are placed in front of the gate, which is similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The courtyard has a central fountain and four two-story buildings with French country villa style.
