Built in 1939 at 1100 New York Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., the Greyhound Bus Terminal exemplifies Streamline Moderne design through its distinctive use of Indiana limestone, glass brick, and aluminium. Designed by architect William Strudwick Arrasmith, the terminal opened in 1940 and served as a major transportation hub through the 1980s, gaining historical significance as a waypoint for servicemen during World War II and later playing a minor role in the Civil Rights Movement. Listed in the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites, the building was preserved through preservationist efforts and largely incorporated into the new 1100 New York Avenue office tower constructed in 1991.
