PREPARING FOUNDATIONS
FOR NEW BUREAU BUILDING
Structure for Government Engraving Plant
Will Be of Vast Area.

A vast hole in the ground is being made
along the south end of 14th street and
when the swarm Of workmen is through
and the steam shovels are removed the
walls of the new building for the bureau
of printing and engraving will begin to
rise from the cement piers, which in some
instances have depth of eighteen feet
A great area Of ground is to be covered by
the new structure, a. it will extend over
several city squares and close two city
streets.
The purchase for government use Of the
ground south of the present building OF
the bureau, at the southwest corner of
14th and b streets southwest, completes
the public ownership on that side of 14th
street from the Mall to the entrance to
the Highway bridge. In other words, 1t is
practically an extension of Potomac Park
east to 14th street, making that thorough
fare the boundary Of the public reserva-
ton The same course has been followed
along 14th street. from the Mall north
ward to Pennsylvania avenue, by the
purchase for public use of the tier of
squares lying between 14th street on one
side and 10Th street on the other.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-04-13

It is proposed in the case Of the bureau
after adding this strip to the reservation
to erect building, which will stand prac-
tically in the midst of the lawns OF the
great park, just as will be the case with
the new departmental buildings which 1t Is
proposed to build on the par, area near
Pennsylvania avenue. Thus the sur
roundings of the new bureau will be at
tractive, and since it will stand near one
of the principal gateways to the city. its
situation will be unusually conspicuous.
1t will provide in part at least back
ground of the great white stone building
with its classic arcade Of pillars. In spite OF
it's size with frontages of more than $50 feet
and also that it is to be used as man
ufacturing plant, the building is to nave
merit as an architectural composition. In
this particular it will differ from the
building now in use, which is substantial,
but of commonplace design.
If the new building, with its better pro-
portions and more slightly appearance has
the effect of making the old structure un-
duly prominent the remedy will be entire
ly under public control.
The site of the new building cost nearly
100000 and the contract for the building,
awarded to J. Henry Miller, Inc, carried
the figures $1,699, AT.

Further announcement was made during
