As each successive Secretary redefined the Smithsonian’s mission and managed its growth, the Castle’s interior spaces underwent many modifications. The Castle deserves special attention, not only because of its historic architectural and institutional significance, but also because it is the public’s doorway to, and the symbol of, the Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian Institution Building, constructed of red Seneca stone was listed by the Secretary of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark in 1965, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
