EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building, located at 330 Independence Ave. S. W. , Washington, D. C. Constructed in the 1930s and captured here around 1943 during World War II, this architectural marvel served as the Department of Health, Education and Welfare at that time. The image portrays a stunning building exterior with its grand facade standing tall against the backdrop of a vibrant blue sky. The photographer's unknown identity adds an air of mystery to this remarkable piece of heritage art. Today, this iconic structure houses both the Voice of America and part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Its significance extends beyond being just another government office building; it stands as a symbol representing American resilience during one of history's most challenging periods. As you gaze upon this still image frozen in time, you can't help but appreciate its historical context within the broader narrative of World War II. It serves as a reminder not only of our nation's commitment to health and education but also reflects on how architecture played an essential role in shaping our country's identity during that era. This photograph is held by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection under their Office for War Information program. Its vivid color palette transports us back to those transformative decades between the thirties and forties when America was united in overcoming adversity on both domestic and international fronts.
