Talk:Eisenhower Executive Office Building

message: As I recall, this building was constructed in the late 1700s, not the late 1800s. It really is a relatively old building by U.S. standards. I will try to check on this. Yours, Famspear 16:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: [[ fire ]]

message: Cumulus Clouds why did you remove the fire subject from the article?  69.154.77.184 (talk) 19:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also believe this removal is a curiosity - fires in major buildings do typically merit a sentence.--CastAStone//(talk) 19:11, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If the building burned down or if somebody died in the fire, that would be one thing, but this is a subject dedicated to water damage in an office which is only being covered because of the man that sits in it. The addition of such material contradicts WP:RECENTISM, since it isn't put in a historical context and since it is only being included because of the newsmedia's current widespread coverage of the event.

thread_title: Why was fire subject removed

message: Why nobody says that in this building there's a bowling alley? i know becouse in the movie "the big lebowski", in the dude's livingroom there's a giant photo of Richard Nixon playing bowling. this photo was taken in 1970, and i think that there was a "white house bowling tournament" too(or something like that) that took\take place in that building.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.10.210.188 (talk) 17:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you sure the bowling alley is not in the basement of the White House itself?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.201.83 (talk) 12:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: the dude minds

message: The article contains this curious sentence: "The main office of the Secretary of Navy was restored in 1987 and is now used as the ceremonial office of Dick Cheney." This suggests that VP Cheney's use is unique for vice presidents. Wouldn't it be end the sentence with "... and is now used as the ceremonial office of The Vice President." Or better yet, "... is now the ceremonial office of the Vice President." --MiguelMunoz (talk) 20:14, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Reference to Dick Cheney

message: The title of this page is still "Old Executive Office Building" - yet the very first line of the article makes it clear that this is no longer the name. Unless the article can be renamed appropriately, I'm going to suggest we replace this page with one with the correct naming. Mburn16 (talk) 01:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree - according to the General Services Administration, the official name of the structure is the Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building (official building page is here). The article should be so titled. bd2412 T 03:58, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggest Deletion and Replacement

message: "The OEOB was referred to by Mark Twain as "the ugliest building in America." Harry Truman called it "the greatest monstrosity in America."
Both quotes seems to come from a website created by high school seniors and have no further attribution. They are repeated in press articles -- but that might be because the quotes are on this very Wikipedia page. The University of Virginia has a Mark Twain search at http://etext.virginia.edu/railton/about/srchmtf.html -- both results for "ugliest" have nothing to do with the EEOB/OEOB. Should this really stay in there? 82.83.102.57 (talk) 23:22, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

message: "It was for years the world's largest office building, with 566 rooms and about ten acres of floor space."
The [City Hall] was built at about the same time
"A total space of about 113,000 m2 (1,220,000 sq ft) is spread over six floors and two basements with 1,575 rooms."
With 28 acres, that is just an example I know, but in any case the above statement seems quite wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.119.129.80 (talk) 15:37, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
