     I think Warren (?) Wetmore was Supervising Architect of the Treasury
     for a while.  They were sort of the GSA of government building from
     some time in the early 19th century, I think, well into the 20th.

     Antoinette Lee, of the NPS here in Washington, has just published a
     book, "Architects to the Nation:  The Rise and Decline of the
     Supercising Architect's Office."  Don't have publisher.  She's been
     working on this for years and knows everything there is to know about
     the Supervising Architect.  If you can find a copy of that, you can
     probably find more info on Wetmore and his role and maybe some bio
     stuff.
