The original hq for the CIA...............


The headquarters of the Office of Strategic Services and later the first home of the Central Intelligence Agency is located at 2430 E Street, NW, Washington DC, a structure among three called the Central, East and South buildings of the variously named Potomac Annex, the E Street Complex and/or Navy Hill. The Central Building is the former OSS/CIA headquarters based on the OSS photo at the CIA and may still house intelligence offices. Currently the buildings are described as in use by the State Department whose headquarters are located across the street. The East and South building house several State programs and offices according the State's directory and Google lists several US programs at 2430 E Street NW, but nothing is specifically listed for the Central Building.

REPORT of the COMMISSION ON PROTECTING AND REDUCING GOVERNMENT SECRECY, Appendix EGenie M. Norris, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Operations, promptly took the Commission in from the cold, providing offices in a wing of the State Department complex on Navy Hill, possibly the most beautiful public square in Washington. This, of course, is a secret of sorts, for the public is not allowed in. A further secret, here revealed for the first time, is that the Commission occupied space where the Central Intelligence Agency had begun its work in the late 1940s. Students of organizational behavior will note that relations with the Department of State were never quite the same once the Agency crossed the river and acquired a building, now buildings, of its own. Students of this Commission, if there should be any, will record that the work could never have been finished save for the indomitable good cheer and great help of Ms. Norris and her colleagues at the Department of State, several of whom are cited below.

Around the Intelligence Community:DNI Negroponte has been on the job for two months and his enemies started sniping before he even arrived . . . still, the Ambassador has scored some significant victories as he begins to consolidate his new position . . . First up was where to work . . . The DNI will apparently take over two top floors of the new DIA facility at Bolling AFB when the building is complete . . . Prospective staff members are blanching at the prospect of leaving Mclean for SE Washington and a trip across the River each day to work . . . rumor has it that the DNI is looking to take over Navy Hill, across the street from State in Foggy Bottom for his ultimate home.

US Naval Academy midshipmen describe interning at S/CT. One notes: "Attended the filming of a TV interview of former OSS operatives (Donovan’s Office/S/CT, Ops Conference Room)." This suggests S/CT may be located in the Central Building.

Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism chief, writes in his novel Scorpion's Gate:

When he had cocktails on the roof of what was then the new Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, over thirty years ago, Rubenstein had been fascinated by the complex of old buildings he had seen nearby on the hill above the Potomac. They sat across the street from the State Department in the Foggy Bottom section of the city. Called Navy Hill, it had been the first home of the Naval Observatory. After the Observatory had moved in the nineteenth century, the Navy's Bureau of Medical Affairs had taken the Hill. In theory, they were still there, but at the outset of World War II some of the Navy buildings had been emptied out so that America's first real intelligence agency, the Office of Special Services, the OSS, could move in.Ambassador Rubenstein had insisted on the ten-acre site for his new agency. He took as his own office the suite on the ground floor that had been home in 1942 to Wild Bill Donovan, the first OSS director. Rusty MacIntyre, the first Deputy of the Intelligence Analysis Center, had the office next to his new boss. Both men loved their river views, but the two spent as much time as they could wandering through the three buildings they called "our little campus."
