This undated photo provided by the Smithsonian Institution shows the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building in Washington. Financial pressures have forced the Smithsonian Institution to rethink plans to reopen one of the oldest buildings on the National Mall this year as an innovation pavilion, leaving the site's future in question. The 133-year-old Arts and Industries Building, one of the original exhibition spaces in the nation's capital, has undergone a $55 million federally funded renovation to replace its roof and rehabilitate the structure. It was shuttered in 2004 because of structural problems and leaks. While scaffolding is now being dismantled around the building, it will remain closed until further notice, officials said late Monday. (AP Photo/Smithsonian Institution)
