Federal Triangle
The Federal Triangle is the triangular area in Washington, D.C. formed by 15th Street, Constitution Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue. It is the site of many U.S. federal government buildings. Many buildings in the Triangle were built in the 1930s and share a common Neoclassical (Greek Revival) architectural style and orange Spanish tile roofs. Source Wikipedia
