The Jamie L. Whitten Building, also known as the U.S. Department of Agriculture Administration Building, stands in Washington, D.C., projecting into the National Mall from the larger USDA South Building. Designed by Rankin, Kellogg & Crane in the Beaux-Arts style and completed in 1908, it was the first large Beaux-Arts building in the capital and set the prototype for the later Federal Triangle buildings. Its east and west wings were the first federal office buildings built of reinforced concrete.
