The Federal Building Annex, also known as the Terminal Annex, is a six-story office building located in the Reunion District of downtown Dallas, Texas. Originally onstructed in 1937 at the cost of $1,000,000, the white stone and yellow brick structure was considered the most modern USPS mail-processing center in the country upon its completion.

The building is notable for it's location near Dealey Plaza and it's Art Deco design which incorporates strong vertical elements. The building’s interior is marked by two eight-foot murals commissioned as part of New Deal art programs that were implemented after the Annex’s completion. The murals depict rural Texas life during the depression era.
