I was just about to ask the name of the architect and the construction firm. Do you know the name of the architect?
And is Clark “Clark construction”?


James McCreary. Just found these. A religious nut who had reservations, but sh-t on the historic building.

I recently read a long piece by Bunny Mellon about how thoughtfully she designed the garden. It will make you weep.

The contractors and architects are taking a beating right now online and on the phone. I doubt that anyone will ever use any of them ever again.

I don’t understand. Why is it going to be taken down?


Trump said in July that no part of the existing White House complex would be demolished.

He lied.

It probably won’t be taken down after he is gone it would be a massive waste of money.


Maybe, maybe not. The upkeep and utilities and furnishings for a 90K sqft space is not insignificant.

It is probably being built with the cheapest materials possible, not like the stone and steel that is being taken down at the East Wing. He raised $250 million for something that will cost at most, $3 million to build.
