Old Post Office Pavilion

Originally built in 1899, the Old Post Office Pavilion embodied the modern spirit that was sweeping the United States. A highlight of the Old Post Office Pavilion is its 315 foot Clock Tower. Offering a 360 degree view, National Park Service Rangers give free Clock Tower tours everyday!

The Old Post Office Clock Tower also houses the U.S. Bells of Congress, a bicentennial gift from England celebrating the end of the Revolutionary War. The Washington Ringing Society sounds the Bells of Congress every Thursday evening and on special occasions.
