Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Some of the New War Buildings in Washington. Photograph taken from the top of the Washington Monument,looking eastward toward the Capitol. In the center are the very extensive group of buildings for the War Department, including the Surgeon General's building, which is the nearest one of the main group. Fortunately, in planning these groups, the main vistas were preserved.
To the left center is the New National Museum building. At the right is one of the wings of the building of the Department of Agriculture, with the uncompleted building for the Freer Art Museum directly behind it. These buildings, as well as those on the opposite page, are avowedly temporary and to meet a war emergency. In the legislation providing for their erection, the Government is morally pledged to their removal after the war. This will be done, without doubt, since the plan for permanent buildings, reported to Congress by the Public Buildings Commission, contemplates the use of all the area occupied by the temporary buildings in this illustration.
