The buildings in the Federal Triangle were to be designed to reflect the "dignity and power of the nation". While the designs of many of the buildings were modified or aborted over time, the classical revival design of the ICC building changed very little. [The Labor (Customs) Building is very similar in design.] The ICC (an independent Federal agency charged with the regulation of common carriers in interstate commerce) has continuously occupied this building since its completion in early 1934.
