Trump sued over plans to paint Eisenhower building white

Historic preservation groups argue painting the granite could cause irreversible damage and violate federal laws, seeking a court order to require environmental and preservation reviews first.

  • On Friday, the DC Preservation League and Cultural Heritage Partners filed suit in U.S. District Court to stop President Donald Trump from altering the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, demanding standard federal reviews.
  • Following earlier changes on federal grounds, President Donald Trump proposed painting the Eisenhower Executive Office Building bright white last week, saying `Gray is for funerals` and also ordered Kennedy Center pillars painted white.
  • Preservationists warn the paint could trap moisture in natural granite and slate, accelerating deterioration and causing irreversible damage, requiring costly removal, the preservation plaintiffs say.
