クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「On 1 March 1797 — three days before the end of his second administration — President George Washington approved architect George Hadfield's design for the first treasury building in Washington, D.C.⠀ .⠀ An important rendering long thought lost, the plan shown here will be offered in our sale of Fine Printed Books & Manuscripts Including Americana and depicts the first floor layout of the 'Treasury Building' as conceived by Hadfield in 1796-97.⠀ .⠀ The building, located beside the President's House, was one of four executive office buildings planned for the site. Yet when the federal government relocated to the banks of the Potomac in 1800, it was the only one that had been completed and for some time housed nearly half of the executive branch staff.⠀ .⠀ The original Treasury Department building, seen in the illustration, was completed in 1800. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1801 and was ultimately burned by British forces in 1814.⠀ .⠀ Washington approves plans for the first Treasury Building, George Hadfield, 1796-97; bearing, at bottom⠀ right, the approval of George Washington (1732-1799), an autograph endorsement signed "Go:Washington" as President, [Philadelphia,] 1 March 1797. Estimate: $50,000-80,000.⠀ .⠀ Fine Printed Books & Manuscripts Including Americana — 1 October-15 October, online.⠀ .⠀ #washington #washingtondc #booksandmanuscripts #books #treasurybuilding #america #georgewashington ##georgehadfield #treasurydepartment #architecture #architecturalplan」9月29日 19時10分
