              <text>These buildings were erected by the federal government during World War II to create offices for the many workers who came for new, war-related jobs. The buildings were never meant to be permanent, and were referred to by locals as "tempos." Temporary housing was constructed in front of the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/427"&gt;National Gallery of Art&lt;/a&gt; and on the grounds of the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36"&gt;Washington Monument&lt;/a&gt;. There was a group of office buildings where the&lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/48"&gt; National Museum of American History&lt;/a&gt; is today, as well as by the&lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/23"&gt; Reflecting Pool&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/271"&gt;Some of these buildings remained until the 1970s&lt;/a&gt;.</text>
