Photograph by David Coleman. The Frances Perkins Department of Labor Building in Washington DC is a significant landmark in the Federal Triangle, representing both architectural grandeur and historical importance. Named after Frances Perkins, the first female cabinet member in U.S. history and the longest-serving Secretary of Labor, this building embodies the legacy of American labor rights and worker protections. Constructed in the 1930s as part of the Federal Triangle project, the building exemplifies the neoclassical style favored for government structures of that era. Its imposing facade, likely featuring columns and ornate stonework, reflects the gravity of its purpose as the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Labor. Frances Perkins, for whom the building is named, was a pivotal figure in FDR's administration, instrumental in crafting key New Deal policies including Social Security and the Fair Labor Standards Act. The building serves as a daily reminder of her contributions to American labor law and social welfare programs. Located in the heart of Washington DC's governmental district, the Frances Perkins Building stands as a symbol of the federal government's role in labor relations and worker protection, continuing to house the department responsible for enforcing labor laws and promoting workforce welfare.
