Department of Commerce Building[10] | James Earle Fraser and his wife Laura Gardin Fraser created 1/2" to 1' plaster sketches of all the pediments that the various sculptors used to create the final products from. |
Several of the sculptural elements on the building by Ricci & Zari and carved by Edward Ardolino were executed before the New Deal so don't fit into the parameters of this article. The later sculpture finished in 1934 does fall into the New Deal era | ||||
