Marshall Orme Wilson House

It is part of the Upper East Side Historic District, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1981.

Three months later, on December 12, the New York Times reported that "The big town house of the late Mrs. Orme Wilson at 3 East 64th Street has been purchased by the Government of India as headquarters for its diplomatic representatives in New York.

The Beaux-Arts street facade is constructed of Indiana Limestone with a mansard roof of blue slate.

The design is in the manner of Percier and Fontaine, who revived the French Renaissance style of Hardouin Mansart.

The structure is five stories tall, sixty-five feet wide consisting of five bays.
