Description
Stereo view U. S. Treasury Building
This rare stereo view shows the US Treasury just after construction and is dated by the view and the card color.
Dated: 1861 - 1873
Medium: Stereoview
Provenance: Hill House
Notes & Literature: The Department continued to grow, and construction began on the North Wing, the final addition to the Treasury Building in 1867. The Government building housing the Department of State was removed from the north area of the site in 1866-67 to make room for the North Wing.The architect of the North Wing was Alfred B. Mullett, who subsequently designed the Old Executive Office Building, which originally housed the State Department, the War Department and the Navy Department.
The north wing of the Treasury Building contains the Cash Room -- a two-story marble hall in which the daily financial business of the U.S. Government was transacted. The room was opened in 1869 as the site of President Ulysses S. Grant's Inaugural Ball. This wing was completed in 1869.
