Height The original Height of Buildings Act, passed by Congress in 1899 in response to the construction of the Cairo Hotel, limited buildings to the height of the Capitol building, which rises to 289 feet (88 m). But the act was amended in 1910 to restrict the height of any building to the width of the adjacent street plus 20 feet (6.1 m); thus, a building facing a 90-foot-wide street could be only 110 feet (34 m) tall. The Capitol building is currently the fifth tallest structure in Washington.
