Dennis Chavez Federal Building, Federal building in Downtown Albuquerque, United States.
The 13-story structure at 500 Gold Avenue SW combines steel frame construction with reinforced concrete and features polished granite exterior walls.
Completed in 1965, the building was renamed in 1976 to honor Dennis Chavez, who served as United States Senator from 1935 to 1962.
The ground floor lobby incorporates New Mexico marble, reflecting the integration of local materials in federal architecture of the 1960s.
The building houses multiple federal agencies, including the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Veterans Administration, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
When constructed, this 197-foot tall edifice ranked as the third-highest building in New Mexico, after the Bank of the West Tower.
