The U.S. government keeps ownership of the Red Cross's headquarters buildings on square 172 in Washington, D.C., including two memorial buildings honoring women who served in the Civil War and World War I. The General Services Administrator oversees the buildings, but the Red Cross pays for their upkeep, not the government.

(a) Ownership. The United States Government keeps ownership of the corporation's permanent headquarters — the buildings built on square 172 in the District of Columbia. This includes: (1) the memorial building honoring the service and sacrifice of women from the North and South during the Civil War, built for the corporation's use; (2) the memorial building honoring the service and sacrifice of patriotic women from the United States, its territories and possessions, and the District of Columbia during World War I, built for the corporation's use; and (3) the permanent building built for the corporation's use in connection with its work alongside the Government. (b) Maintenance and Expenses. These buildings stay under the supervision of the Administrator of General Services. But the corporation must care for and maintain the buildings itself, at no cost to the Government.
