Treasury Building, Government building in Northwest, Washington DC.
The Treasury Building features a massive Ionic colonnade with a Greek Revival facade stretching along Pennsylvania Avenue, constructed from granite and sandstone materials.
Construction of this federal institution began in 1836 under architect Robert Mills, with subsequent expansions continuing through multiple architects until completion in 1869.
The structure appears on the reverse of the United States ten-dollar bill, representing the foundation of American financial governance and monetary policy.
