In
1842, the year it was completed, the grandeur of Treasury’s
East wing set the standard for the monumental architecture
of government buildings in Washington, DC. Today, 160
years later, the
current Treasury Building and Annex Repair and Restoration
project (TBARR) represents the latest chapter in the
legacy of the Treasury Building. The TBARR project remains
committed to the preservation of the historic structure
while preparing the structure to serve future generations.
In
conjunction with TBARR's effort, this
online exhibition examines the architectural significance
of the Treasury building, the vision of its architect,
Robert Mills, the modernity of his interiors, and the
early stages of the Secretary of the Treasury and the
office he worked in.
