Notes
  • Significance: The former Labor Department building is one of three buildings along Constitution Avenue designed by Arthur Brown. The architect designed this building as part of a three-part ensemble that included the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Departmental Auditorium. Two pediments adorn the main elevation of the Labor Department building. The first, entitled "Abundance and Industry," includes a reclining female in the center with rams at each end. The female figure represents abundance and industry, the rams productivity and security, and the vase overflows with the fruits of industry. The second pediment, entitled "Labor and Industry,"consists of a reclining male nude, a bull, and a sheaf of wheat.
