Washington DC First Division Monument War and State Department 1920s Postcard

This is a vintage postcard featuring the First Division Monument and the State, War, and Navy Department building (now known as the Eisenhower Executive Office Building) in Washington, D.C.

The building was constructed between 1871 and 1888, based on designs by architect Alfred B. Mullett.
It is now part of the White House complex.
The architecture of the building was initially regarded with scorn due to its clash with the prevailing neoclassical style of other federal buildings in D.C.
