Louis Simon, the supervising architect at the Treasury Department, was responsible for the design. He designed Federal Government buildings from 1852 to 1939. Retail and restaurant are possible new uses for the building, but offices and medical are also allowed in the Business Center District. HK Group is the leasing agent for the buyer. HK Group is a full service Westport-based commercial real estate company that specializes in investment property sales, leasing and off-market deals.
