Now home to National Endowment for the Arts

Original a Post Office, completed in 1899, now officially name Nancy Hanks Center, is no longer a Post Office. It houses the National Endowment for the Arts and Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The National Park Rangers also provide tours of the Clock Tower. Inside you will find numerous shops and also you can enjoy occasional concerts and other events here. Back in the 80's during the marches on DC they held a huge dance event here, much like the huge parties now similar to White party. It was an event.
