Summary edit

Description
English: The historic core of the National Institutes of Health began to take shape in 1938. Building 1 was nearing completion in this early photograph. This building houses the Office of the Director among other administrative offices. President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the National Institutes of Health in 1940 at the top of the stairs leading to the entrance. This was the first building constructed for the newly formed National Institutes of Health. Building 1 was later named in honor of James A. Shannon, director of NIH 1955-1968.
