TREASURY ANNEX
BUILDING TO Be
FREE Of FR|LLS

Following the national spirit OF
war economy. the design Of the pro-
posed Treasury Department annex
to be located at Pennsylvania avenue
and Madison place has ben changed
to give a more utilitarian office struc-
ture and at the same time preserve
monumental lines. There will be no
colonnGde on the building.
No Columns As Decorations.
II has ben determined that while
the building shall be of classic de-
sign, matching the Treasury, build
ing. and the two big bank buildings
which it will adjoin, Ionic columns
and other decorations of this char
acter will be done away with.
The height has been increased to
six stories. II must be of q char
acter that will not dwarf or conflict
with the White House, the Treasury
and the private structures II adJoins.
The front will be OF stone, possibly
with pilasters and other decorations.
but office room and light will not be
sacrificed to a colonnade. Treasury
officials believe that II can be made to
match and harmonic with the main
department structure without such
decoration, which is expensive in
building cost and in loss OF light and
work room.
Gilbert IL the Architect.
Preliminary sketches for the struc-
ture are being made by cass Gilbert,
a New York architect. Mr.. Gilbert
was at one time a member of the Fine
Arts Commission. The actual work
of design and the drawing OF plans
and specifications will be done by the
office OF the supervising architect OF
the Treasury Department.
