"Main Navy" Building, Washington, D.C.
Architect's perspective drawing, probably prepared in 1917 as
construction was being planned in response to the greatly expanded
need for office space during the World War I emergency.
Despite the designation of this structure as "temporary",
it remained in use until 1970.
