C. Grant La Farge and George Lewis Heins hope to be invited for the competition to design the new executive office. They were previously disappointed not to be invited to the Department of Agriculture competition. La Farge has long wanted to design a building in Washington, D.C., and to have one selected during the Roosevelt administration would “increase the triumph.”
