William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building

The limestone and granite structure features two connected semicircular sections with wings and spans eight floors above ground level in neoclassical style.

Originally built in 1934 as the Post Office Department headquarters, the building was renamed in 2013 to honor the 42nd President William Jefferson Clinton.

The interior contains 25 New Deal era murals commissioned by the Treasury Department Section of Fine Arts during the 1930s and 1940s.

The Environmental Protection Agency headquarters maintains its offices in this building, which includes the Benjamin Franklin Station post office branch.

President Herbert Hoover laid the cornerstone using the same trowel George Washington had used for the United States Capitol cornerstone in 1793.
