Nathan Eki: Blog 1 – Eisenhower Executive Office Building

When you go to the state capitol, Washington DC, the building most talked about is the spectacular White House where the president resides. But just west of the white house less than half a football field away lies of the most magnificent structures I have ever seen, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. This building is 5 acres in area and 4 stories tall with a

basement. When I first saw the building I was overwhelmed, I didn’t know it existed. I remember as a kid seeing the White House, but after revisiting this building it is unmistakably in your face. It was designed to strike awe into visitors to show the might of the most powerful country on Earth. The French Second Empire architecture style is unimaginably beautiful and if I were to design a place for state officials to work this would be it. I would recommend to anyone visiting the White House to simply look to their right and gaze in awe.
