Description
General Description
This masonry building was constructed as part of the expansion of the industrial and mechanical buildings and structures in the Service Area along the eastern edge of the property parallel to North Capitol Street. Constructed during the 1953 Master Plan phase, this utilitarian building illustrates the architecture of the Modern Movement, and lacks applied stylistic detailing. The E-shaped plan of the structure is created by glass and metal greenhouse wings that radiate from the masonry main block. The structure was constructed outside the period of significance and, therefore, has been recommended as non-contributing.
