Located near the White House in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Civil Service Commission Building is a six-story brick structure completed in 1911 and designed by Appleton P. Clark, Jr. in the Renaissance Revival style. Built unusually by a private developer rather than through direct federal construction, the building originally served as headquarters for the Civil Service Commission from 1911 to 1932. Today it continues to house various offices for the Executive Branch and the U.S. Trade Representatives, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
