AAA Editor Notes
The Pentagon, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., accessible via I-395, the George Washington Memorial Pkwy., I-66 or US 1, is one of the world's largest office buildings. The five-sided structure, which was completed in 1943 after only 16 months of construction, covers 29 acres and houses branches of the Department of Defense. Tours lasting approximately 1 hour cover nearly 1.5 miles and provide an overview of the Department of Defense. Exhibits showcase military history. The Pentagon Memorial also is on the grounds.
