Completed in the spring of 1933, the Longworth House Office Building is the second of three office buildings constructed for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Because of its position on a sloping site, the rusticated base of the Longworth Building varies in height from two to four stories. Above this granite base stand the three principal floors, which are faced with white marble. Ionic columns supporting a well-proportioned entablature are used for the building's five porticoes, the principal one of which is topped by a pediment. Two additional stories are partially hidden by a marble balustrade.

James Madison Memorial Building

In 1957, Librarian of Congress L. Quincy Mumford initiated studies for a third Library building. Congress appropriated planning funds for that structure, today's James Madison Memorial Building, in 1960, and construction was approved by an act of Congress on October 19, 1965 that authorized an appropriation of $75 million. Excavation and foundation work began in June 1971, and work on the superstructure was completed in 1976. The cornerstone, inscribed with the date 1974, was laid on March 8, 1974. Dedication ceremonies were held on April 24, 1980, and the building actually opened on May 28, 1980.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Building is a low-rise Brutalist government office building designed by preeminent architect Marcel Breuer and located at the foot of Capitol Hill. In 1976, upon its completion, it became the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. After the department’s education component separated to become part of the U.S. Department of Education in 1979, the newly renamed U.S. Department of Health and Human Services continued to occupy the structure.
Originally known as the South Portal Building, the building was renamed in honor of former Vice President and U.S. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey on November 1, 1977.

In 1930, Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon selected New York Architect John Russell Pope to design the National Archives Building. Pope suggested moving the building to the land the Justice Department was slated to occupy—the block bounded by 7th and 9th Streets and B Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW—the current site of the National Archives Building. This was symbolic in that the building would be halfway between the White House and Capitol, and the new Archives would hold records from those institutions. The Justice Department building was then moved to its current location between 9th and 10th Streets, NW.
