What are the buildings either side of it?

According to this map from 1856 (published 1858)

-State dept and land offices -Department of war offices(?) -Department of the navy(?) -The treasury

Although the building on the one side doesn’t match up right with the map. https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3850.ct004361/?r=0.259%2C0.274%2C0.199%2C0.118%2C0 so I assume the depts of war and navy buildings got rebuilt as one?

Unless you mean the addons that are attached to the white house. Those were greenhouses I believe.

Aren’t those the same buildings that are there today (with some extensions)?

At least the Treasury is still there




Not sure.



I wonder what sort of drone they used for this shot? /S
