Design for Whitehall, New Government Buildings, 1936.

Emmanuel Vincent-Harris

MOD8279 - Watercolour on paper, 108cm x 230cm.

Among the collection of architectural drawings are designs for churches and barracks, as well as Robert Adam's Admiralty screen and other Whitehall-based drawings.

Originally providing accommodation for the Board of Trade and the Air Ministry, 'Main Building' was built between 1938 and 1959 to designs by the architect E. Vincent Harris.

The MOD moved into the building in 1964 when the department was reorganised.

This original architectural drawing has hung in the Main Building since its presentation by the architects in 1969. It was rehung in the Rotunda area on the building's re-opening in 2004.
