Ketchikan Federal Building
Ketchikan Federal Building, Government building in Ketchikan, United States.
The Ketchikan Federal Building stands at 648 Mission Street with six stories of reinforced concrete construction and a two-story additional wing.
The federal building opened in 1938 after local efforts led by the Ketchikan Women's Council secured funding through the Works Progress Administration.
Murals within the former jail cell area display Native American artwork created by members of the Tlingit and Haida tribes of Alaska.
Visitors must use an Airphone system in the entrance foyer during weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to gain access to federal offices.
The building's salmon-colored exterior paint, applied in 1990, makes it the only pink federal building in the United States.
