Eisenhower Executive Office Building, Pennsylvania Editorial Image

Located on 17th Street NW, between Pennsylvania Avenue and State Place, and West Executive Drive, the building was commissioned by President Ulysses S. Grant. It was built between 1871 and 1888, on the site of the original 1800 War/State/Navy Building[3] and the White House stables, in the French Second Empire style. While the building exterior received substantial criticism at first, it has since been designated as a National Historic Landmark. It was for years the world`s largest office building, with 566 rooms and about ten acres of floor space. Many White House employees have their offices in the EEOB.
