US General Accounting Office Building
US General Accounting Office Building, Federal office building in central Washington, D.C., United States.
The seven-story structure features geometric forms and horizontal elements across its exterior, spanning an entire city block between G and H Streets.
President Harry S. Truman dedicated this federal building in September 1951, marking a shift toward modern architectural design in government structures.
The building represents the evolution of federal architecture, transitioning from traditional courtyard layouts to a solid block design in the post-war period.
Located at 441 G Street NW, the building houses both the Government Accountability Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers headquarters.
The structure pioneered a solid building concept instead of the standard fish bone layout, influencing subsequent office construction throughout Washington, D.C.
