关于此地
The official residence of the vice president occupies secure grounds at the national naval observatory.
Architect Leon E. Dessez designed the house on former farmland for the observatory superintendent. The complex sits on federal territory near the British Embassy, having replaced an earlier facility at Foggy Bottom. Naval leadership subsequently claimed the building as the personal quarters for the chief of naval operations, establishing a long tradition of military occupancy under the name Admiral's House.
