Winder Building, Federal architecture building in Downtown Washington D.C., United States.

The Winder Building stands at 600 17th Street Northwest with five floors constructed of brick walls covered in stucco and supported by cast iron beams.

William H. Winder constructed this office building in 1848 to address space shortages, and the federal government purchased it in 1854 for 200,000 dollars.

The structure represents the Federal architectural movement in the United States, featuring symmetrical design elements and classical details throughout its exterior and interior spaces.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative maintains its headquarters in the Winder Building, which stands near the White House complex.

The building incorporated advanced technologies for its time, including a hot water heating system and fireproof construction methods using cast iron structural elements.
