The building sits across a driveway from the West Wing and was completed in 1888. 

The Executive Office of the President submitted a design proposal to the Commission of Fine Arts, a panel of Trump appointees who advise on public architecture and design in the nation’s capital. 

The CFA will hear a presentation on the plan on April 16.
