Patent Office (Washington, DC)

Old, aged, unused, unattributed card Z-119.  Just as a break, we’ll give you Wikipedia’s description of the building:  “Designed in the Greek Revival style by architect Robert Mills, construction started in 1836, and the massive structure took 31 years to complete. United States patent law required inventors to submit scale models of their inventions, which were retained by the Patent Office and required housing. Once home to many early government departments, today the structure houses two museums of the Smithsonian Institution, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.”  Grade: 2
