The William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building, originally the US Post Office Department, began construction under the Hoover Administration and was completed under the New Deal in 1934. It is currently the headquarters for what’s left of the Environmental Protection Agency. It is richly decorated with New Deal artworks. There are 25 murals and 22 sculptural elements: 12 bas-reliefs, 2 statues, and 8 carved wood medallions. Famous artists include Eugene Francis Savage, William C. Palmer, and Karl Free.

The building itself is spectacular. The tour will be led by Cal Alum and GSA Art Historian Nick Hartigan. If you enjoyed the Culture Club tour of the New Deal artwork in the Wilbur G Cohen building, you will want to see this too.

What: Tour of the artwork in the William J. Clinton Federal Building
When: Wednesday, September 9, at 2 PM.
Where: 12th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, adjacent to the Federal Triangle Metro Station. (More details about where to enter the building will be forthcoming.)

Fun fact about Federal Triangle: Before the Civil War, this area was known as “Murder Bay.” It was bordered by Pennsylvania Ave., 15th St., and the "open sewer" of the Washington Canal. (The canal was a fever dream of L’Enfant’s, which he intended to emulate Venice’s Grand Canal. It was filled in during the 1870s due to disuse). Murder Bay was a total slum - rife with prostitution and robberies. Its seedy reputation grew further when Civil War soldiers favored Murder Bay's cheap alcohol and many brothels. While DC outlawed prostitution in 1914, lobbying continues unabated. In 1928, the city leveled Murder Bay and began building Federal Triangle in its place.
