The former Guam Congress Building, also known as the Guam Legislature Building, is located in Chalan Santo Papa in Hagåtña, Guam. It was built in 1949 by Pacific Island Buildings and of Brown & Root Pacific Bridge & Maxon. It has served as a capitol and as a courthouse building.[1] It is a Modern Movement-style building that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
It is significant for its role in the history of the Chamorro people and their effort to end the dominant military rule of the United States Navy in 1950.[2] The legislature moved to a new location in 1989 and two wings of the building were taken down; the building now houses government offices.[2]
