A. In December of 1869, Congress appointed a commission to select a siteand prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State Department Building. Thecommission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and NavyDepartments. To the horror of some who expected a Greek Revival twin of theTreasury Building to be erected on the other side of the White House, theelaborate French Second Empire style design by Alfred Mullett was selected, andconstruction of a building to house all three departments began in June of1871.
B. Completed in 1875, the State Department's south wing was the first to beoccupied, with its elegant four-story library (completed in 1876), DiplomaticReception Room, and Secretary's office decorated with carved wood, Orientalrugs, and stenciled wall patterns. The Navy Department moved into the east wingin 1879, where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floorsdecorated the office of the Secretary.
C. The State, War, and Navy Building, as it was originally known, housedthe three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated withformulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the last quarter ofthe nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century-the periodwhen the United States emerged as an international power. The building hashoused some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and hasbeen the scene of many historic events.
D. Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated inhistorical events that have taken place within the EEOB's granite walls.Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower,Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush all had offices in thisbuilding before becoming president. It has housed 16 Secretaries of the Navy, 21Secretaries of War, and 24 Secretaries of State. Winston Churchill once walkedits corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State CordellHull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
E. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) commands a uniqueposition in both the national history and the architectural heritage of theUnited States. Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Alfred B.Mullett, it was built from 1871 to 1888 to house the growing staffs of theState, War, and Navy Departments, and is considered one of the best examples ofFrench Second Empire architecture in the country.
F. Construction took 17 years as the building slowly rose wing by wing.When the EEOB was finished, it was the largest office building in Washington,with nearly 2 miles of black and white tiled corridors. Almost all of theinterior detail is of cast iron or plaster; the use of wood was minimized toinsure fire safety. Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over4,000 individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes andtwo stained glass rotundas.
G. The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid. Thefirst executive offices were constructed between 1799 and 1820. A series offires (including those set by the British in 1814) and overcrowded conditionsled to the construction of the existing Treasury Building. In 1866, theconstruction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated thedemolition of the State Department building.
