Historic
US General Accounting Office Building
The U.S. Government Accountability Office Building (the GAO Building -- formerly known as the General Accounting Office Building) is a historic government office building mainly serving as the headquarters of the Government Accountability Office, a legislative branch agency that provides auditing, evaluative, and investigative services for the United States Congress in an independent and nonpartisan capacity. Unlike most other federal government buildings it is directly owned and operated by the agency itself and is managed by EMCOR Government Services (Emcor / EMCOR Group) through a government contract, rather than the General Services Administration in order the prevent a conflict of interest with the executive branch agencies they audit; unlike other legislative branch agencies it is not operated by the Architect of the Capitol which manages the physical infrastructure for core buildings that are part of the United States Capitol Complex.
It is located at 441 G Street NW in Washington, D.C. 20226 in the Judiciary Square neighborhood, the building is adjacent to the National Building Museum.
