Building history
[edit | edit source]The building was designed by architects and engineers in the Office of the Supervising Architect under Louis A. Simon, and built from 1928 to 1936.[2] The cornerstone was laid in 1929 by Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon.[3] The building was opened for use in 1930, 16 months ahead of the planned completion date, making it the first Federal Triangle building to be opened.[4]
The building was designated by Congress as a contributing structure to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site in 1966, and was subsequently listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Internal Revenue Service Building bears writing from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935), "Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society."
