EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling activity of the Temporary Building under construction in Washington, D.C. in 1917. The image, a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, documents the progress of this significant structure built in response to the country's involvement in the First World War. Located between B Street (now Constitution Avenue), 19th Street, Virginia Avenue, and 18th Street N.W., the Temporary Building was a vital addition to the city's infrastructure during wartime. The Washington Monument, an iconic obelisk standing tall in the background, serves as a testament to the city's rich history and enduring spirit. The photograph showcases the various aspects of the construction process, with bricklayers meticulously laying bricks, timber beams supporting the structure, and glass windows being installed. The industrial scene is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the construction industry during this period. The Temporary Building was a critical component of the war effort, providing much-needed space for various government agencies and offices. The image encapsulates the spirit of the era, with workers diligently working to complete the project, contributing to the war effort and the growth of the nation's capital. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the construction industry during the 1910s and the country's response to the First World War. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the American people during a pivotal moment in history.
