"Munitions" Building, Washington, D.C.
View from across Constitution Avenue, N.W., from just west of
21st Street, looking southeasterly, circa 1919. The nearly identical
"Main Navy" building is just beyond, at the left.
These structures, completed in 1918 as World War I temporary
office buildings, were finally torn down in 1970-71.
