              <text>Built between 1904 and 1908 to house the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/466"&gt;US Department of Agriculture&lt;/a&gt;, 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 &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/350"&gt;McMillan Plan&lt;/a&gt;'s vision of the Mall and President Theodore Roosevelt's desire to have the building located on the Mall itself.</text>
