Oklahoma City National Memorial (site of Murrah Building)

The Oklahoma City National Memorial occupies the site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a federal office building completed in 1977 that was destroyed in the 1995 bombing. The memorial preserves the building's footprint, incorporates surviving elements and the Survivor Tree, and includes a reflecting pool and the Field of Empty Chairs to mark the location of the offices. The site documents the destruction of a federal building and its subsequent transformation into a public memorial and museum.
