Travel: Kennedy Department of Justice Building door



2022-12-19 - Washington, DC - Photo by Larry J. Smith.
Larry visited the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building in Washington, DC earlier this year.

According to the Evergreene Architctural Arts page on their 2007 restoration project, the "The US Department of Justice building was built between 1933 and 1935 as part of the Federal Triangle development known as the McMillan Plan. The Beaux Arts building covers the block between Pennsylvania and Constitution Aves and 9th and 10th Sts. It is richly decorated with murals, sculpture and architectural metals in aluminum, an uncommon and expensive choice for the time. The most impressive and visible elements of this scheme are five sets of monumental night doors, designed by the sculptor Carl Paul Jennewein and sited at the main building entrances. Each door features either a Greek key pattern or abstract, heraldic lions."
