Indonesian Embassy

TIME : 2016/2/18 12:27:55

The Indonesian Embassy now sits in the old Walsh-McLean House. Gold-mining magnate Thomas Walsh commissioned the home in 1903. He embedded in the foundation a gold nugget, which has never been found. This also was the costliest house in the city when it was built (not surprising, considering the gold-flecked marble pillars).
