Patrick Henry Building

The Patrick Henry Building features limestone-sheathed steel construction with modernist architectural elements and inscriptions of notable Virginians at each entrance point.

Constructed between 1938 and 1940 through the Works Progress Administration, this structure initially served as the Virginia State Library and Supreme Court headquarters.

The building houses a historical marker commemorating the Loving v. Virginia case, which led to the elimination of laws against interracial marriage.

Located at 1111 East Broad Street in Richmond, the building currently functions as the office space for the Governor and other government departments.

The structure underwent extensive renovation from 2003 to 2005, resulting in its current designation as the Patrick Henry Building, named after the American Founding Father.
