” ... that building is one of the ugliest ever built ...”
I’m not a huge fan of the Eisenhower Building exterior, but inside it’s quite beautiful.

To me, the ugliest buildings are the Hubert H. Humphrey Federal Building and the J. Edgar Hoover Building. Barf.
The Hoover Building was a hole in the ground when I left DC.
It was several years before they finished ‘the basement’.
It was in my precinct, so I saw it every day.
