26 Federal Plz
New York, NY 10278

The Jacob K. Javits Federal Office Building, located in the Civic Center neighborhood of Manhattan, stands as the tallest federal building in the United States at 41 stories. Named after former U.S. Senator Jacob K. Javits, the building houses various government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration.

Designed by Alfred Easton Poor and Kahn Jacobs, the building features notable artworks such as A Study in Five Planes Peace by Alexander Calder and Manhattan Sentinels by Beverly Pepper. The removal of the controversial Tilted Arc sculpture in 1989 led to the creation of the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990.
