Comments: Office is composed of three different, odd sections. The original CO bears a similar resemblance to the original section of the Dupont office and is probably from the 1930s. The second addition (center) is probably from the 1950s and features some very interesting facade carvings (a bald eagle amonst others) [ed. details of these features coming in the future]. The third addition is most likely from the 1970s. It has the stylistic 70s DC feel to it. While mostly obscured the 1970s addition is very tasteful up close, unlike other tired relics of the paste such as the Watergate Hotel.
