I need to visit this wonderful place as soon as possible. And this might be a silly question, but what’s that building behind the White House? It looks important.

It’s the Treasury Building. I believe it was built during the FDR administration. The story is that he was feuding with Congress and had it built there so he wouldn’t have to look at the Capitol.
This looks gorgeous.

oops…sorry, looks like you got to it first. 🙂
Treasury Building. Awesome, thanks. This sounds all so traditional, I like it a lot.
Thank you, tiki. I saw the watermark on the corner of the pic, and had to go check out shorpy.com.
Wow, what a collection of pictures. The old picture buff in me is quite satiated right now.
@...Tenspace: shorpy.com is pretty cool…
“The Library: 1910” seems like a place I’d like to live…
in black and white- looks like a ghetto. I think it just looks old.. shoppy the band is better.
@...Tenspace:
oh lordy, I do love Shorpy. I’m subscribed to the rss feed, and even though it doesn’t have images in the feed itself, I usually fine one or two images every day that I save to my ‘awesome’ folder
