The building which covers the entire square bounded byVirginia Avenue, B Street, N. W., and 18th and 19th Streetsis of cement, two stories in height. The construction of thisbuilding was a marvel of speed, for ground was broken thefirst week in March, 1918, and on May 18th, or a little overtwo months, the building was occupied by the branch of theQuartermaster Corps for which it was built. Under normalconditions, it would have taken this period of time to completethe working plans alone for a building of this size. 146.
