1101 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20004 The Evening Star Building is situated between the U.S. Capitol and the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Prominent law firms and Fortune 500 Companies seek this location for convenient access to downtown Washington, DC. The Evening Star is a trophy-class building listed in the National Register as a Historic Landmark. Unique to the Evening Star Building, and unattainable today, is its mere 25-foot setback from Pennsylvania Avenue. By comparison, modern standards have kept newer structures at three times this distance. The white marble beaux arts-inspired classical revival architecture represents unprecedented style in building design at the time of its construction and official dedication in 1900. Over a century later, the Evening Star Building, along with the old Post Office across the street, serves as an architectural gateway to the prestigious Pennsylvania Avenue. The Evening Star, was a daily afternoon newspaper, which later became the Washington Star-News, then Washington Post.
