This group of three Postmodern federal buildings, unified by their cladding of smooth dark-gray first-floor masonry with deeply cut channels and glazed six-inch tiles above, reveals the limits of 1980s contextualism. The two smaller edifices respect the tradition of trust-lot buildings through their scale, orientation toward the square, and use of abstracted porticos to signify their civic purpose. The main building, however, occupies an entire ten-lot tything, obliterating the lane. Its shifting wall planes—intended to recall the rhythmic pattern of row houses—fail to mask its low-budget enormity. Atlanta-based Stevens and Wilkinson’s original design was dramatically altered due to budget constraints.
