Federal Triangle

The Federal Triangle is a triangular area in Washington, D.C. formed by 15th Street NW, Constitution Avenue NW, Pennsylvania Avenue NW, and E Street NW. Federal Triangle is occupied by 10 large city and federal office buildings, all of which are part of the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site. Seven of the buildings in Federal Triangle were built by the U.S. federal government in the early and mid-1930s as part of a coordinated construction plan that has been called "one of the greatest building projects ever undertaken"〔Lee, Antionette Josephine. ''Architects to the Nation: The Rise and Decline of the Supervising Architect's Office.'' New York: Oxford University Press US, 2000, p. 241. ISBN 0-19-512822-2〕 and all seven buildings are now designated as architecturally historic. The Federal Triangle Washington Metro station serves Federal Triangle and the surrounding area.

The name "Federal Triangle" appears to have been a journalistic invention. The press made reference to a "Pennsylvania Avenue Triangle" as early as November 18, 1926,〔 and use of this name continued as late as June 1929,〔"The Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon." ''New York Times.'' May 26, 1929.〕〔〔"Revenue Building Cornerstone Laid By Mellon In Rain." ''Washington Post.'' May 21, 1929.〕 but it was more common for the news media to refer to the area as "the Triangle" by 1927.〔 This name was in use by 1928, even by government officials,〔Speers, L.C. "Washington's Aspect Is Undergoing Change." ''New York Times.'' March 18, 1928.〕 and still used as of late 1934.〔McCormick, Anne O'Hare. "Building the Greater Capital." ''New York Times.'' May 26, 1929.〕〔〔Adams, Mildred. "Washington Triangle Grows." ''New York Times.'' October 7, 1934.〕
The Associated Press first used the term "Federal Triangle" (with both words capitalized) in 1935.〔"Capitol Triangle at Last Completed." ''Associated Press.'' August 4, 1935.〕 The ''New York Times'' first used the term in 1936, although the paper's capitalization of both words did not become standardized until 1939.〔For examples, see: George, Frank. "Eat More Fish, Uncle Sam Urges." ''New York Times.'' November 1, 1936; "Farm Building Is Biggest." ''New York Times.'' August 1, 1937; "Building Progress Is Wide In Capital." ''New York Times.'' May 7, 1939; Modlens, Joseph. "Washington Offers Many Opportunities For Camera Studies of Architecture." ''New York Times.'' December 24, 1939; Fredericksen, Paul. "The New Washington." ''New York Times.'' July 28, 1940; Reston, James B. "L'Enfant's Capital." ''New York Times.'' June 1, 1941.〕 Definitions of the area also varied at first. Early news reports believed the eastern apex of Federal Triangle extended as far east and south as the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in front of the United States Capitol.〔〔 But almost all reports referred to Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 15th Street NW as the Triangle's northern and western boundaries.〔〔〔
