The location of public buildings has received the very careful con- 

 sideration of the commission. In general terms their conclusions are: 



1. That only public buildings should face the grounds of the Capi- 

 tol. 



2. That new department buildings may well be located so as to 

 face Lafayette square.

3. Buildings of a serai-public character may be located south of the 

 present Corcoran Art Gallery, fronting on the White Lot and extend- 

 ing to the park limits. 



4. That the northern side of tlie jMall may properly be used by 

 museum and other buildings containing collections in which the public 

 generally is interested, but not by (l('i)arliniMit buildings.
