This looks like the building they used in Men in Black

It should be possible to find this building, but it wasn't the headquarters of HEW in 1940 because HEW did not exist until 1953. It might have been the headquarters of the Federal Security Agency, which was the predecessor agency to HEW. The Federal Security Agency was created as an independent agency in 1939 by grouping Social Security, Office of Education, Public Health Service and other cognate programs scattered around in the Treasury, Interior, and other departments (or were independent like Social Security).

This building occupies the block between 3rd and 4th Streets, SW, and Independence Ave. and C Street, SW, Washington, DC. Currently, it houses Voice of America (since 1954) and part of Department of Health and Human Services. It was built in 1940 to house the Social Security Board and contains a fabulous set of murals by Ben Shahn in the hallways (check out www.voanews.com/english/About/upload/SHAHN_BROCHURE.pdf). The building is now named after Wilbur J. Cohen, secretary of HEW in the 1960s.

Thanks, mikemcgeary. I will forward this information for review and possible changes to the catalog record.

Is this the building that was used by the War Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff during World War II, even after the Pentagon was completed in 1943?

beachcomber australia The original caption on this shot was "Skellig Michael, cell, double lintel. Priest/camera." So the answer to your question is affirmative! Hopefully somebody who knows about cameras might be able to help???

Possibly dates from around 1928 as the The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland mentions "Mr. Thomas H. Mason, Fellow, exhibited a series of Lantern Slides of " The Antiquarian Remains on the Islands of Inish- murray and Skellig Michael," with explanatory notes.", at least according to the Google Books result page.
