State, War, and Navy Building late 19th century by William Henry Jackson

This is an incredible photo that needs no commentary. It was taken by William Henry Jackson some time near the end of the 19th century. I came across this on a cool photo archive site Photographium. Click the image for a high-resolution shot.

I worked there from 1989 to 2002. Amazing building with lots of nooks and crannies, especially on the 4th floor and the basement.
