THE
HISTORY OF OPEN SPACES
AT THE TREASURY BUILDING
The History
of Open Spaces at Treasury is an exhibition that focuses on the
use of space and spatial arrangements at the Treasury Building located
at the corner of Fifteenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. It is a story
told in a series of themes, pictures and text describing the development,
use, and alteration of interior space in this landmark building and
its implications to the Treasury workforce and the subsequent development
of buildings in Washington, D.C. "A History of Open Spaces at Treasury"
begins with a consideration of the subject of space and in a series
of three related themes examines the concept through the evolution of
the building as designed by Robert Mills to the building modernization
project presently under construction. The exhibit aims to educate employees
and the public about the history of the building and its use and the
complexities spatial over the course of over one hundred and fifty years
of growth and evolution.
The current Treasury
Building and Annex Repair and Restoration Project (TBARR) represents
the latest chapter in the development of space within the history of
the Treasury Building. TBARR remains committed to the preservation of
historic spaces within the Treasury Building while at the same time
preparing the structure to serve future generations.
"A History
of Open Spaces at Treasury", encompassing an eleven-panel exhibition
and this companion web site, was produced by the Office of the Curator.
The exhibition represents the work of Gerald Maready, an intern to the
Curator's Office during the summer of 2001, and Lynn Zaycosky, a graphic
designer at the Printing and Graphics Division. The implementation of
the exhibit into a web site was developed by Alisa Cox, also an intern
to the Curator's Office, and the staff of the Office of the Curator.
In addition, the
Office of the Curator wishes to acknowledge the support and generosity
of the following:
- Office of Management
and Administrative Programs
- Facilities Management
Division
- Printing and
Graphics Division
- TBARR
NOTE:
The site navigation is set up as if you were walking through the exhibition
panels as they are installed at the entrance of the Treasury Building.
Every two pages on the web site is equivalent to one panel from the
exhibition and the content follows sequentially from one page to the
next.
