The former site of the U.S. Embassy in the Republic of China is located at No. 33, Xikang Road, Nanjing (formerly No. 18, Xikang Road). It is now a guest house for provincial-level agencies in Jiangsu Province. In September 1936, the U.S. government appointed Johnson as the first Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to China. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the U.S. Embassy was located at No. 82 Shanghai Road. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in July 1946, the U.S. government appointed Stuart as ambassador to replace Johnson. The embassy moved to Xikang Road, and the original building on Shanghai Road was changed to the Information Office.

The U.S. Embassy building on Xikang Road consists of three Western-style buildings and three Western-style bungalows of the same shape and scale, and is built according to the hillside terrain. Built in 1946, the three buildings are apartment-style buildings with brick and stone structures, two stories high and one basement level. Each building has a construction area of ??936 square meters. There are porches and balconies in the middle of the front facade, with sloping roofs on all sides, and fireplace chimneys for heating on both sides and back of the ridge. The plan of the house is in the shape of a "concave". The front and side of the ground floor are living corridors, the middle is the living room and office, the rear is the kitchen and dining room, the bedrooms and washrooms are arranged upstairs, and the basement is the boiler room and storage room. Three bungalows were built behind each building as residences for attendants and servants. Each building has a building area of ??96 square meters, with brick and wood structure, gray slatted ceiling and ordinary wooden floor.

After the victory, the U.S. Embassy moved from Chongqing to Nanjing in April 1946. Because the United States plays the role of mediator between the two opposing parties in the United States, the U.S. Embassy has become the focus of the world's attention. On April 23, 1949, Nanjing was liberated. On February 18, 1950, Bacon, the last diplomat of the U.S. government, left Nanjing and returned to the United States. In 2006, the former site of the U.S. Embassy was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Nanjing.
