the building is a well-executed, well-preserved example of the neoclassical architectural style. the building was designed in 1928-1929 by the office of the supervising architect of the treasury, then under the direction of acting supervising architect james a. wetmore. the walsh building is a neoclassical arrangement modified by a mission-style roof. the neoclassical style is characterized by symmetry of plan, frontal arrangement, monumental proportions, and flat, smooth or polished stone surfaces. the treasury department favored neoclassicism as the appropriate architectural style for most of the federal buildings constructed during this time period. however, the mission-style variations on the building are used to moderate the rigid neoclassical lines while acknowledging the local building tradition.
