Bygningen er tegnet av arkitekt Henrik Bull (1864-1953) og er den sydlige og eneste fullførte fløy av det som var tenkt som et stort H-formet regjeringskompleks i jugendstil. Arbeidet med bygningen kom i gang i 1898, og den stod ferdig i 1906 som det første monumentalbygg etter unionsoppløsningen. Finansdepartementet flyttet inn 9. juni 1906 og har vært her siden.

Work on the building began in 1898, and it was completed in 1906 as the first monumental building after the dissolution of the Union.
