Join DACOR for this member exclusive tour of the New Deal murals and sculptures in the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building (formerly the Post Office Department Headquarters).

There are limited spaces available for the tour, so be sure to register as soon as possible. Registrations will be accepted until COB 9/1. Details of where to meet will be included in the confirmation email you will receive upon registering. Please note that you must bring a government issued photo ID and will go through a security screening (similar to an airport) to enter the building.

The William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building was originally built as the headquarters of the Post Office Department. It was then known as the New Post Office because an older Post Office headquarters stood across 12th Street (now a private hotel). Building began under the Hoover Administration and was completed under the New Deal in 1934. It is richly decorated with New Deal artworks including murals, bas-reliefs, statues, and carved wood medallions, many featuring postal themes.

The Neoclassical or Beaux Arts design is by William Adams Delano and Chester Holmes Aldrich and is based on Place Vendôme in Paris and London County Hall. The Post Office Department building layout is unusual; it consists of back to back, semicircular centers with large wings to the north and south, each with a courtyard. The second half of the grand plaza originally envisioned was never finished, save for a curve in the northwest corner of the headquarters of the Internal Revenue Service east of 12th Street. To the west, the Ronald Reagan Building, completed in 1998, picks up the  semicircle theme of the Clinton Building.

The building has served as the headquarters for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since the 1990s. The whole complex was named after former President William Jefferson Clinton by Congress in 2012. It still includes a local branch post office, called Benjamin Franklin Station, that is open to the public, but our tour will take us into the non-public areas to view the artwork.
