It is an enormous 10-wing structure that provided over 600,000 square feet of additional work space for the employees of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Annex was put up by John McShain Builders, which constructed many of the New Deal era buildings and monuments around DC. The Treasury described the specific funding sources for the Annex and other federal buildings in its 1937 report: “The present building program in the District of Columbia is being carried on with funds allotted to the Division by the Federal Emergency Administrator of Public Works and from appropriations made direct to the Division.” The Treasury’s 1938 report also linked the Annex to the Public Works Administration program. The work of clearing the site preliminary to the erection of the building has already been started.” The annex will be connected with the main building by a tunnel under 14 th Street and with the freight yards for the handling of carload shipments by a tunnel under D Street.
Plans for this building have been completed by the Procurement Division and a contract for its erection, at a cost of approximately $6,300,000, has been awarded. Treasury noted: “On August 12, 1935, Congress authorized the construction of a new annex to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to be located on a site opposite the present building, on the east side of 14th Street, between C and D Streets SW. The Treasury Department’s Procurement Division handled the design through its architecture office, put out the contract and supervised construction, which was carried out by the John McShain Co. The building was authorized by Congress in 1935 for $6.3 million, but the funds flowed through the Public Works Administration (PWA).
