The US Forest Service is currently headquartered in this beautiful 1880s building but is being moved by Trump to Salt Lake City, Utah. I have no idea why.

If you check into it, I would not be surprised to find they are moving to a building owned by Trump or one of his associates. Sad to see such a beautiful building being abandoned. V

It is a beautiful building, but I cannot fathom why the Forest Service will be moved across the country. Shows, to me, how little value the current dictator in chief cares about anything like forests, lands, wildlife. V

Lovely heritage building

a handsome place well decorated, although one would have been tempted to feature a tree on such an agency..

Nice to see them celebrating and surprised they haven't been completely dismantled.

So sad people aren’t getting excited for this birthday like they did for the 200th. A beautiful old building with some great posters. V

A beautiful illustration of the 250 years of independence uniting France and the United States. V

Superb ornaments, and the tricolor cockades are identical to those of the French Republic. V.
