James Monroe Building, Office building in Downtown Richmond, Virginia.

The James Monroe Building rises 137 meters with 29 floors, making it a central structure in Richmond's commercial district at North 14th Street.

From its completion in 1981 until 2007, the James Monroe Building remained the tallest structure in Virginia before The Westin Virginia Beach surpassed it.

The building's design by Ballou, Justice & Upton Architects reflects the early 1980s corporate architecture with its structured geometric form and functional layout.

The structure contains 12 elevators serving 25 usable floors, while a parking garage at the base provides convenient access for office workers and visitors.

Initial plans included a twin tower at the north end of the parking garage, but economic conditions in the 1980s prevented its construction.
