Location
  
719 Main St., Laconia, New Hampshire

The Federal Building in Laconia, New Hampshire, is located at 719 Main Street. It is a two-story brick Classical Revival structure designed by Louis A. Simon and built 1939-40. Originally T-shaped, it was expanded to an H with a sympathetic addition in 1966. It housed the administrative offices of the White Mountain National Forest, a division of the United States Forest Service and the United States Department of Agriculture. The building's interior reflects this intended use, with a pair of murals on forestry-related themes in its lobby, which were executed by Philip Guston and Musa McKim.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
