Abstract:
Image caption on page 104 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "This is an architectural drawing of the library's Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications by the firm J. Roy Carroll Jr. & Associates, ca. 1978. By joint a resolution in 1968, Congress established the library's Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications. The construction of the building of the same name did not begin until an award was made in June, 1977, to George Hyman Construction Company. Although the Center was physically different from the original library building, the architects designed it to be complementary, blending the two structures by using a common limestone façade and repeating the vertical, unbroken narrow column lines located in the windows of the original building."
