Gage, as the Treasury Department "was not in possession of information in a concise and convenient form relating to public building under its control" at the time of publication. The intention was to provide a valuable reference to the committees in Congress when it came to considering the erection, completion, and occupation of the various buildings which may be proposed. Each entry includes either a photo or illustration of the building in question. Entries are alphabetized by state and city. FORN-MSB-0224-0766-JC154
