The photograph's caption card names Alexander Chavez as a Library of Congress employee who was killed in World War II, making it a record of one staff member rather than of the building itself. Many Library workers left their desks for military service during the war, and the institution kept track of those who did not return. The caption card carries no date, and the information was never verified against other sources, so the identification and circumstances should be read as the card gives them. Researchers may find service records and Library personnel files useful for confirming the details.
