Federal Home Loan Bank Board Building
Federal Home Loan Bank Board Building, Neoclassical federal building in Downtown Washington, D.C., United States.
The Federal Home Loan Bank Board Building exhibits limestone facades with classical detailing, grand columns, and symmetrical proportions across its institutional structure.
Originally constructed between 1927 and 1928 for Acacia Mutual Insurance Company, the building became a federal property in 1934 during the New Deal era.
The structure represents the federal government's commitment to supporting home ownership through dedicated financial institutions during the Great Depression period.
Located at 320 1st Street NW, the building currently serves as the Central Office of the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C.
The building combines the original Classical Revival design by George E. Mathews with Art Moderne elements added during its 1935-1937 expansion.
