nice picture

This view of the former Administration Building is from 14th Street NW at Jefferson Drive SW. In June 1995, Congress renamed the main headquarters building of the United States Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC the Jamie L. Whitten Federal Building in his honor.[1]

Wikipedia entry on this building: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Department_of_Agriculture_Admi... "It was the first large Beaux-Arts style building in Washington and set the prototype for the later buildings of the Federal Triangle. ... The L-shaped wings were completed between 1904 and 1908, but the central block was not finished until 1930. "

I wonder if this photo was taken by G. W. Ackerman ... rather than G. D. (or maybe just a typo) George W. Ackerman "During a nearly 40-year career with the Department of Agriculture, George W. Ackerman (1884-1962) estimated that he took over 50,000 photographs. Ackerman began working as a photographer for the Bureau of Plant Industry in 1910 at a salary of $900 a year. In 1917 he moved to the Federal Extension Service, and in that position, he traveled around the country photographing rural life. His photographs appeared in many private and Government agricultural publications, although they were not usually credited to him." – National Archives

Good catch Pixel Wrangler! I checked the back of the photo, where I found "GD Ackerman" -- but when I looked on the backs of the other photos in the folder they all said GW. Tiah
