Steel workers hoist girder in place in Meeting Hall Area. Construction is scheduled to be completed in June 1951. [no date]
The temporary North Lawn building will house the General Assembly, conference facilities and the offices of the Secretary-General and staff during the renovations of United Nations Headquarters under the Capital Master Plan.
Erection of the steel framework for the 39-story Secretariat Building. The Building, which will contain the General Assembly Hall and a Conference Area in addition to office space, is expected to be ready for occupancy by the 3,000 members of the UN Secretariat in the autumn of 1950. Because of the narrowness (72 feet wide by 287 feet long) some of the largest wind braces ever developed will be used to keep the structure from swaying. Some of the concrete piers in which the steel is anchored extended forty feet into the earth. In addition to the Secretariat building the Permanent Headquarters will comprise two other units, plans for which are now nearing completion. Two workmen climbing atop the first 20-foot riveted steel column erected, to unfurl the United Nations Flag.
