The Greatest Monstrosity by khawbecker

The Greatest Monstrosity

Although I think the Old Executive Office Building is a beautiful Victorian building, Harry Truman called it "the greatest monstrosity in America." Mark Twain called it "the ugliest building in America." In black and white, it has the look of a haunted house.
I like the Old Executive Office, and I had not heard their comments. Greata capture.

Yes, it looks very heavy and ominous! But excellently captured to feature those quotes!

Something about its massiveness is just fascinating.

I love this building! I photographed it often when I lived two blocks away from it, especially in winter, the shadows, the snow, the ice -- just lovely!

Victorian architecture isn't always admired by everyone. I like this.

@tristansmum Thanks, Stephanie. I like the building too. It made me laugh to find the two quotes by Twain and Truman.
