Bush in 2002. Commissioned by President Ulysses S. Grant and completed in 1888, the building was designed by Alfred Mullet in the Second Empire style, which is characterized by a sloping mansard roof and grand embellishments. Originally known as the State, War, and Navy Building, the building houses the offices of much of the president’s staff.
