The Central National Bank, also known as the Dorothy I. Height Building or Apex Building, stands at 633 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C.'s Penn Quarter neighborhood. Designed by Alfred B. Mullett and built in 1860 in an eclectic Victorian style, it is faced in slate, sandstone and aluminium. It now serves as the national headquarters of the National Council of Negro Women and takes its current name from civil rights activist Dorothy Height.
