Postcard Showing Proposed Archives Building, May 17, 1940

  • rockcreek said:
    Where was this to be built?
  • The U.S. National Archives said:
    Hi, rockcreek, Thanks so much for the question! The initial design for the building placed it between 9th and 10th Streets along Pennsylvania Ave: www.archives.gov/about/history/building-an-archives/simon... However, the John Russell Pope design that was implemented moved the building between 7th and 8th Streets on Pennsylvania Avenue. It was always intended to be in the Federal Triangle area of DC: www.archives.gov/about/history/building-an-archives/build... Additional information about the building can be found here: www.archives.gov/about/history/building-an-archives/ - Meredith (U.S. National Archives)
  • rockcreek said:
    Thanks, Meredith - given the date, I assumed it was a proposal for a separate building. Is 5/17/40 the accession date?
  • The U.S. National Archives said:
    Hi, rockcreek, May 17, 1940 is the date the postcard was created, even though the drawing of the proposed building is from the 1930's. Thanks for the question! Meredith (U.S. National Archives)

    Looks like he came to visit a fellow soldier who died in the line of duty. Great way to honor someone

  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery was designed by the famous architect Thomas Hastings. He was also the designer of the New York Public Library, and the front façade of the U.S. Capitol Building.
