Department of Commerce Building[9] 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
