The American Federation of Labor Building is a seven-story brick and limestone building located along Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C.[3] Completed in 1916, it served as the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor until 1955, when it merged with the Congress of Industrial Organizations to form the AFL–CIO. It remained a trade union headquarters until 2005, when it was sold to the developers of the Washington Marriott Marquis hotel. The building exterior, the only historical element remaining of the building, is now part of that structure. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.[2][3] It housed the American Federation of Labor for 40 years.[3]
