The provided text does not contain biographical details for the author James L. Ford. Instead, the source document describes the history and architecture of the James V. Forrestal Building, a low-rise Brutalist office building located in Washington, D.C.
Originally known as Federal Office Building 5 and nicknamed the "Little Pentagon," the structure was built between 1965 and 1969 to house United States Armed Forces personnel. It was named after James Forrestal, the first U.S. defense secretary, and subsequently became the headquarters of the United States Department of Energy in 1977.
