United States Department of Agriculture Building, Federal administrative building on Independence Avenue SW, Washington DC, United States.
The United States Department of Agriculture Building extends 458 feet by 944 feet, containing 4500 rooms connected through seven miles of corridors.
The structure, completed in 1936, remained the largest office building globally until the Pentagon construction in 1942, reflecting federal expansion during the Depression.
The building features sixteen Corinthian columns at the entrance and relief panels depicting native American animals created by sculptor Edwin Morris.
The seven-story structure houses administrative offices since laboratory operations moved to the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Maryland.
The building incorporates 12 million bricks, 11,000 miles of structural steel, and combines limestone, glazed terra cotta, and variegated brick materials.
