Harry S. Truman Federal Building, Government headquarters in Foggy Bottom, Washington D.C., United States.
The eight-story federal structure features limestone cladding, granite details, and spans two blocks with U-shaped east wing and E-shaped west wing sections.
Constructed in 1941 as the War Department Building, the structure transitioned to house the Department of State after Congress funded the Pentagon construction.
The East Lobby displays a mural titled The Defense of Human Freedoms by Kindred McLeary, while The Expanding Universe sculpture graces the south courtyard.
Located at 2201 C Street Northwest, the building serves as the primary operational center for United States diplomatic and foreign affairs activities.
The State Department Extension, completed in 1960, made this complex the second-largest office building in Washington D.C., following only the Pentagon.
