The Winder Building is an office building in Washington, D.C., just west of the White House.
It is located at 604 17th Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.




History


It was designed by Richard A. Gilpin, (or Robert Mills), for W. H. Winder, a nephew of Gen. William H. Winder. It was leased as government offices.
The government purchased it in 1854 for US$200,000. It was originally covered in stucco, which was stripped and brick painted. The windows have been replaced. The building is maintained by General Services Administration and occupied by the Office of the United States Trade Representative, since 1981.
It was occupied by the Office of Emergency Planning/Preparedness in the 1960s through 1973 when that agency was abolished and its functions transferred to other federal agencies. It was threatened with demolition in 1974. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
