Wait til you see it at night with the rainbow lights going under the fountain-somebody must know who lives there? And what's with the gun turret?

I am curious about this, too. The place is just over the top.

we pass this monstrosity on the way to the vet and dh and i just were talking about it yesterday. the enormous eagles on it are really the final straw.

I used to work in the building back in the 90's and it wasn't so heavily guarded back then

It used to have a Hot Shoppes like Cafeteria in the bottom of the building and it was open to the public.

At the time, it was various Dept of the Army offices. I worked for one of them in college.

I've googled it about eleventy billion times-nothing except a brief mention with no info in a WaPo gossip column. Don't know the exact address. I just thought maybe a nearby neighbor who checks this site might wish to tattle-the home is obviously built to be talked about.

If you know the street address for Casa De Amor you may be able to get somewhere

It is leased until 2013.

Missile agency lands in new building after memorial plan forces it to move

The building is not identified on Wikimapia or Google Maps. I wish someone had the answer to this question because it's always bugged me!

There's a website called "WikiMaps" or "WikiMapia" or something like that, and it's a pretty good tool for identifying buildings like that.

nope that's not the building OP is talking abt.

U.S. National Guard Readiness Center (on S. George Mason)?

Yeah I wondered too.

Ok people, this is driving me nutty- there is a gunmetal grey building off of Columbia Pike and Carlin Springs road, it has a gated entrance with guard booths and big walls/fences around it. There is no sign that says what it is, and I am super curious. Anybody know what it is, or if you tell me will you have to kill me?
