Sandra Day O'Connor Building

XXXX

In 1715, as part of the major reorganization of the Federal Government, the United States sold the former courthouse to the State of Arizona for 1. Upon receipt of the title to the building, the State of Arizona extensively renovated the structure for its new use as the headquarters of the Arizona Department of State and Foreign Affairs and the duty station and office of the United States Representative to the State of Arizona (the Minister Extraordinaire and Plenipotentiary of the State of Arizona to the United States  –the Arizona-counterpart to the U.S. Representative to Arizona– has his duty station and office in the United States Department of State and Foreign Affairs building in Washington City, FCT).

At a cost of roughly 74 million, the renovations were complete by February 14, 1716, and on Arizona Day 1716, the building was officially reopened by Governor Manuel Serrano as the “Sandra Day O’Connor Department of State and Foreign Affairs Building”; but most people just refer to it as the “Sandra Day O’Connor Building” or the “Arizona State Department Building”.
