Notes:

A tympanum is the semi-circular or triangular decorative wall surface over an entrance bounded by a lintel and arch. It often contains sculptures or other ornaments. Neg. # on back of photo 623

Summary:

A tympanum over the doorway to an exhibition building was designed by Charles Knight, artist, at the National Zoological Park, Washington, D.C., and illustrates an American Mastodon, Wooly Mammoth, and Four-tusked Mastodon. The sign on lower left says, "Lombard and Ludwig, Inc., Architecture Sculpture, Washington, D.C." Also, the picture carries the notation that it was "Approved by Arthur Blakeslee, 11/10/36." The Elephant House is a testament to the Depression-era and to the work relief programs. The Works Projects Administration provided laborers, the federal art project (here, the Treasury Relief Art Project) funded Charles R. Knight's sculptural work, and the Public Works Administration supplied the money for construction in Washington's National Zoological Park
