RE: GOVERNANCE, HISTORY, UNITED STATES, WHITE HOUSE

The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) is a major U.S. government building located next to the White House in Washington, D.C. It houses many of the offices and staff who support the President of the United States, including parts of the National Security Council and the Office of the Vice President.

Built in the late 1800s in a French-inspired architectural style, the building was originally used by the Departments of War, Navy, and State. It was renamed in honour of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and is now one of the key sites of day-to-day operations for the U.S. executive branch.

Although not open to the public like the White House, the EEOB plays a crucial role in helping run the U.S. government, especially in areas like policy planning, communications, and international affairs.
