| 説明 | Black granite wall along the Pennsylvania Avenue NW side of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C.The Hoover Building is located at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW and is the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Planning for the building began in 1962, and a site formally selected in January 1963. Design work began in 1963 and was largely complete by 1964. Ground was broken in March 1965, and it was complete in September 1975. Its cost doubled from $60 million to $120.1 million. Tt has been widely condemned on aesthetic and urban planning grounds, and called "the ugliest building in D.C."When the building was being designed in 1963 and 1964, the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Planning Commission both asked the FBI to leave space for retail businesses and restaurants on the ground level. The FBI, led by the paranoid psychotic J. Edgar Hoover, refused -- demanding a fortress-like, secure ground floor.The FBI got its way, which has left a dead spot smack in the center of the city. |
