Editing National Mall (section)

====World War II====
During World War II, the government constructed a larger set of temporary buildings on the Mall in the area of the former World War I tempos, along the south side of Constitution Avenue between 12th and 14th Streets NW, on the west side of the Washington Monument grounds, along the entire length of the south side of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and between the Reflecting Pool and the Main Navy and Munition buildings on the Pool's north side. Numbers identified new buildings built on the Monument grounds, while letters identified the remainder. The government also built [[Dormitory|dormitories, residence halls]] and facilities for dining and recreation south of the eastern half of the Mall and within the part of West Potomac Park that lay south of the Mall's western half.<ref name=map3/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://mallhistory.org/items/show/58|title=World War II Temporary Buildings|work=Histories of the National Mall|location=[[Fairfax County, Virginia]]|publisher=[[Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media]], [[George Mason University]]|access-date=February 23, 2021|archive-date=November 12, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112014944/http://mallhistory.org/items/show/58|url-status=live}}</ref>
