The Sun Building (also known as the Baltimore Sun Building or American Bank Building) is a historic building, located at 1317 F Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Downtown Washington, D.C. neighborhood.
It was designed by Alfred B. Mullett and constructed from 1885 to 1887, by John H. Howlett. It was built for the Washington Bureau of the Baltimore Sun.
The nine story building was served by steam elevators, which were replaced by hydraulics in 1909, and electric elevators in 1922. It was altered, in 1904 by B. Stanley Simmons for the American Bank. In 1907, the ninth story was added as the Interstate Commerce Commission Hearing Room.[2]
