United States Treasury Building, Washington DC
Additional Details:
| The United States Treasury Building is of the Monumental type. With a width of 250 feet on Pennsylvania Avenue, and a depth of 450 feet it covers an entire block. The features of the exterior which gives it dignity are the great colonnade of Ionic columns extending along the Fifteenth Street front and the columned porticoes of the other fronts. The impression of massiveness and security which is given from without is intensified when in the course of the conventional Treasury tour we penetrate the dark corridors and narrow passageways in the lower regions of money vaults and time locks. |
