Description
An account of the resource
Built between 1904 and 1908 to house the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/466">US Department of Agriculture</a>, the Whitten Building is the only non-public structure on the National Mall. The Whitten building is joined to the South Building by a pedestrian bridge over Independence Avenue. The building's location is a compromise between the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/350">McMillan Plan</a>'s vision of the Mall and President Theodore Roosevelt's desire to have the building located on the Mall itself.
