The Cannon House Office Building, completed in 1908, is the oldest office building of the United States Congress in Washington, D.C. This Beaux-Arts style architectural gem is located south of the United States Capitol and is named after former Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon.
With its distinguished design featuring Doric columns, marble and limestone facades, and a grand rotunda flooded with natural light, the Cannon Building is a historic and functional space for congressional offices and committee rooms. Connected to the Capitol by underground passages, it stands as a significant example of early 20th-century architecture in the heart of the nation's capital.
