This striking modern complex from 1965 houses the Pan American Health Organization, one of the many international agencies that are located all around DC. This building is on a triangular site at Virginia Avenue, 23rd Street and E Street, NW and takes full advantage of the site, including a curved glass, curtain-walled officetower and a lower, circular glass building housing the council chambers in front with a metal screen over the windows.
The whole complex was designed by prominent Uruguayan architect Roman Fresnedo Siri with local architects of record Justement, Elam, Callmer & Kidd, who also designed the Burr Gymnasium at Howard University in 1964.
The building is flanked by a row of flagpoles on each side.
