Washington DC Indian Treaty Room 1984 Original Lithograph Print by Richard Haas

This is a wonderful print of the Washington DC Indian Treaty Room and there are not many around.
Located in the former Navy Department Wing is the Indian Treaty Room, which was originally known as the Navy Department Library and Reception Room. It was designed by Richard Ezdorf, Draftsman for the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. Completed in 1879, it cost more to construct than any other room in the building at about $33.50 per square foot (total $55,675.00 in 1879 dollars). The room was used as a library and a reception room

The reason for the room's name "Indian Treaty Room" is a mystery. It is not clear where it originated, despite extensive research. Some believe it was due to the fact that during the 1930s the War Department stored papers there, including treaties with the American Indian nations. But this is not true, as the State Department used it for storage until the 1940s after the Navy Library moved out.

"His (Richard Haas) prints faithfully record great American facades and streetscapes. His paintings do this as well. Some of the prints and paintings also record panoramas of large sections of the American city, as well as views of how the contemporary city interacts with its historic predecessors." - Paul Goldberger, Architecture Critic, Vanity Fair

**This is not a photograph, this is the work of Richard John Haas who is an American muralist and is best known for architectural murals and his use of the trompe l'oeil style
