The Chemical Laboratory conformed to the general type of unit laboratory building on the NBS campus- made of brick with stone trim and red tile roof. Most of the chemical work of NBS was housed in this laborstory, although certain specialized branches of technologic chemistry were housed elsewhere. The chemical work of NBS was linked with nearly every NBS division, as well as with the issuance of standard samples of materials and the regular routine analyses of government materials. In addition, fundamental research on chemical standardization problems was also conducted here.
