This photograph of the south side of Eisenhower Executive Office Building was taken on May 17, 2014. Commissioned by President Ulysses S. Grant and completed in 1888, the majestic building was designed by Alfred Mullet in the Second Empire style, which is characterized by a sloping mansard roof and grand embellishments. Originally known as the State, War and Navy Building, it now houses the offices of much of the president’s staff. In the foreground is the First Division Monument built to honor the sacrifices of the First Division Infantry from World War I to the present day.
