Federal buildings are structures owned and operated by the national government. They serve various purposes, including housing government offices, courts, and agencies. Examples of federal buildings include the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and federal courthouses. These buildings are often designed to reflect the values and history of the nation. Many federal buildings are located in the capital city, Washington, D.C., but they can be found throughout the country. They are typically constructed to meet specific security and accessibility standards, ensuring that they can effectively serve the public and government functions.
