From the Wikipedia article
Macdonald House was a seven-storey Neo-Georgian style building on Grosvenor Square in the Mayfair area of London, England. It was part of the High Commission of Canada from 1961 to 2014. Macdonald House was used for the High Commission's cultural and consular functions, trade and administrative sections, immigration section, and as the High Commissioner's official residence. From 1938 to 1960, the building was the Embassy of the United States. The Government of Canada sold Macdonald House to a property developer in 2013 and vacated the building in 2014. Subsequently, Macdonald House was converted into a high-end residential building named №1 Grosvenor Square.

Background
History
In 1936, the former (residential) buildings on the site were demolished as part of a redevelopment scheme led by the Duke of Westminster. A new building was built and occupied numbers 1 to 3 on the eastern side of the square. The American embassy moved into the building in 1938. In February 2010, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper cancelled the sale for the third time. On 20 December 2010, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade announced that Canada House, the High Commission's diplomatic, public and educational space in London, would close to undergo necessary renovations. It re-opened in 2012.
