      abstract = {Towering over the White House, the colossal granite Dwight  D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) was first  constructed to house the departments of State, War, and  Navy in the nineteenth century, and it now serves as the  home of the Executive Office of the President. Having  outlasted decades of plans threatening alteration or  outright demolition, the building survives as one of the  foremost examples of Second Empire design in the United  States. Palace of State details the building's rich  architectural and historical legacy, from the beginnings of  federal civic architecture in Washington to its  construction as the world's largest office building after  the Civil War, and culminating in the recently completed  restoration process that began in the 1980s. Featuring  beautifully rendered architectural drawings, historic  images, and lush contemporary photography, this illustrated  history presents a comprehensive study of an iconic  landmark that continues to serve in its role as a  monumental setting for statecraft.},
