The building is located opposite the White House and the Eisenhower office building and was formerly used to house visiting dignitaries.

The residence at 1 Observatory Circle has been closed due to repairs, including maintenance of the HVAC system, replacement of the chimney linings in the chimneys, and renovation of some floors.

The Victorian house at the Naval Observatory was built in 1893, but was only named the Vice President’s residence in 1974.
