Building 40, Georgian revival building at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C., United States.

Building 40 features three main floors with brick exterior walls, limestone trim at entrances, and a raised stone basement at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

The basement of Building 40 contained one of the first nuclear reactors installed in the United States during its operational period.
