The Library of Congress Annex, the building that later became the Madison Building, was designed to relieve crowding in the main Jefferson Building across First Street in Washington, D.C. Construction on the annex began in the 1930s, and it was completed in 1939 as part of the library's expansion to hold a growing collection of books, manuscripts, and maps. Its long stone facade and orderly rows of windows reflect the classical styling favored by federal architecture of the period, and the structure remains one of the institution's key working buildings.
