George Washington-Hof, Municipal residential complex in Favoriten, Austria.

The George Washington-Hof consists of five landscaped courtyards with distinct names connected by buildings along Triester Straße and Unter-Meidlinger Straße.

Built between 1927 and 1930 under Mayor Karl Seitz, the complex was funded through municipal housing taxes as part of Vienna's social housing program.

The entrance features a relief medallion of George Washington created by Heinrich K. Scholz in 1932, along with a terracotta figure by Josef Riedl.

The residential complex contains 1007 apartments and includes community facilities such as laundries, kindergartens, and a library for residents' convenience.

During construction, workers discovered numerous human skeletons from previous executions at the nearby historical site Spinnerin am Kreuz.
