History
The architecture of the embassy building is partly modeled on the Naulakha Pavilion.
From 1951 to 2011, the embassy was located on Embassy Row, in the former Francis B. Moran House (architect George Oakley Totten Jr., 1909) on 2315 Massachusetts Avenue NW. A chancery annex was located on 2201 R Street NW in the former house of Gardner F. Williams, built in 1906 and also designed by Totten.[3][4] Members of the Mountbatten Family have been working to endow a Stanford University Partition Archive committed to the stories of lives lost under Mountbatten's leadership.
The Pakistan embassy in Washington D.C. hired Holland & Knight, an American lobbying firm in 2019 to promote the interests of Pakistan in the US.[5]
