Department of Commerce Building[10] 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.

1934 does fall into the New Deal era
