Sculpture The Outdoor Sculpture of Washington, D.C. American Industry, Scenes from: Reliefs on Dirksen Ofc Bldg in Washington, D.C. by Otto R Eggers Five themes -- shipping, mining, lumbering, manufacturing & farming -- are repeated on panels between the 3rd & 4th floor windows all around the south (14 panels), west (about 23 panels) & north (14 panels) sides of the building. The Dirksen Senate Office Building was the second office building constructed for members of the United States Senate in Washington, D.C. and was named after the late Minority Leader Everett Dirksen from Illinois in 1972. Source: Wikipedia Everett McKinley Dirksen (January 4, 1896 – September 7, 1969) was a Republican U.S. Congressman and Senator from Illinois. As Republican Senate leader he played a highly visible and key role in the politics of the 1960s, including helping to write and pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He later offered his support for the Open Housing Act of 1968, another landmark piece of Civil Rights legislation. He was one of the Senate's strongest supporters of the Vietnam War.

I'm not sure if there was a correlation, but this occurred around the same time that a small plane crashed into a building on Manhattan's East Side. That many photos of a Congressional office building probably arouses suspicion on any day of the year. They were firm, but in the end very polite & even apologetic. Best wishes, gentlemen.
