The first American embassy was located at No. 39 Ham Nghi. It opened as a "US Legation" in 1950, becoming an embassy when the US formally recognized the Ngo Dinh Diem government in 1955. The building was the site of a bomb attack in 1965.
The diplomats moved to the newly opened Thong Nhut location in 1967. The old
embassy on Ham Nghi is now a bank.
