It houses the central administrative offices of the Panama Canal, one of the greatest engineering achievements in history. A remarkable architectural feature is its E-shaped layout, carefully designed to make optimal use of natural light throughout the day. Built in 1914, it was a symbol of innovation and progress, with a construction cost of $879,000 USD, an extraordinary investment at the time.
