President Trump has submitted plans to paint the Eisenhower Executive Office Building white.
The French Second Empire-style, slate-gray building houses office space for members of the president’s team, including the National Security Council.
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.
