Saint Elizabeths Video

In this video from MilitaryTimes, GSA Department Director, Dawud Abdur-Rahman talks about the proposed Department of Homeland Security headquarters at Saint Elizabeths hospital. There’s some nice footage of the historic buildings, including the Kirkbride. Note that Abdur-Rahman believes construction will begin this year.

    Interesting, it’ll be interesting to see what is saved and what isn’t though. Last I heard the city is still pissed since the feds promised to turn the property over to them and never did.
