Federal Trade Commission Building

The Federal Trade Commission Building features a triangular layout with a semicircular portico at Constitution Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue intersection in Washington, D.C.

The Federal Trade Commission Building, completed in 1938, represents the final structure added to Federal Triangle before the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center construction.

The building's exterior displays sculptures and bas-relief artworks that represent different aspects of commerce and the Federal Trade Commission's regulatory mission.

Located at 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, the nine-story structure houses federal offices dedicated to enforcing regulations against unfair competition and trade practices.

President Franklin D Roosevelt laid the cornerstone using the same silver trowel George Washington utilized for the United States Capitol construction.
