Ford House Office Building, Federal office building in Capitol Hill, United States
The Ford House Office Building spans 585,532 square feet across six stories with a basement, featuring brick exterior and limestone cladding on the first floor.
The structure, completed in 1939 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs, initially served as the headquarters for the United States Census Bureau until 1942.
The building received its current name in 1990 to honor Gerald R. Ford, who served as both Vice President and United States Representative.
The facility houses committee staff offices, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe within its 594,966 square feet grounds.
Unlike other House office buildings, this structure maintains physical separation from the Capitol complex without underground connections to any congressional buildings.
