Directions to the Library of Congress and FRD
The Library of Congress is located on Capitol Hill in southeast Washington,
D.C. It comprises three buildings that are adjacent to each other:
- Thomas Jefferson Building, located across the street from
the U.S. Capitol
- James Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave, SE
- John Adams Building, 2nd St, SE
Because of very limited on-street parking, we recommend Metro transportation
as the easiest way to reach FRD offices.
For driving directions, see link:
By Subway (Metro):
The two closest metro stops to the Library are:
- Capitol South - ORANGE and BLUE lines
- Union Station - RED line
The closest of these is Capitol South, which is located diagonally
across the street from the James Madison Building. Upon exiting the Capitol
South station, half a block uphill to the corner of 1st and C Sts, SE is the
James Madison Building. Across Independence Ave, SE on1st St, SE is the Thomas
Jefferson Building. Directly behind the Thomas Jefferson Building on 2nd St,
SE is the John Adams Building. The only public
entrance to the John Adams Building is on 2nd St, SE.
Upon exiting Union Station, walk south on 1st
St, NE towards the U.S. Capitol. This route will take you past the
Russell and Dirksen Senate office buildings and the U.S. Supreme
Court before you reach the Thomas Jefferson building on the left
(east) side of 1st St, SE. This walk will take approximately fifteen
minutes. The John Adams Building is
on the left side, across 2nd St, right behind the Thomas Jefferson
Building.
The Federal Research Division (FRD) is
located on the fifth floor of the John Adams Building.
