The mansion was built in 1897 to designs by Thomas Franklin Schneider. In 1957 the Soviet government bought it from Benjamin Franklin Pilson; it first housed an elementary school for the children of embassy staff and, in the 1970s and 1980s, the consular office. Under a 1998 bilateral agreement the building was designated the Russian Cultural Center, opened on 10 December 1999.
Особняк построен в 1897 году по проекту архитектора Томаса Франклина Шнайдера. В 1957 году здание купило у Бенджамина Франклина Пилсона правительство СССР; сначала в нём размещалась начальная школа для детей сотрудников посольства, а в 1970–1980-х годах — консульский отдел. По двустороннему соглашению 1998 года здание отведено под Российский культурный центр, открытый 10 декабря 1999 года.
