This is a wonderful print of the Washington DC's historical The Eisenhower Executive Office Building formerly known as the Old Executive Office Building, and originally as the State, War, and Navy Building is a U.S. government building situated just west of the White House in the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C.


It was designed by Alfred B. Mullett, Supervising Architect of the Department of Treasury, which had responsibility for federal buildings. Patterned after French Second Empire architecture that clashed sharply with the neoclassical style of the other Federal buildings in the city, it was generally regarded with scorn and disdain. Mullett, the exterior architect who was often criticized in his position, later resigned. Beset by financial difficulties, litigation, and illness, in 1890 he committed suicide. Writer Mark Twain referred to this building as "the ugliest building in America. President Harry S. Truman  called it "the greatest monstrosity in America.  Historian Henry Adams called it Mullett's “architectural infant asylum.

"His (Richard Haas) prints faithfully record great American facades and street-scapes. His paintings do this as well. Some of the prints and paintings also record panoramas of large sections of the American city, as well as views of how the contemporary city interacts with its historic predecessors." - Paul Goldberger, Architecture Critic, Vanity Fair
