English: According to E. & H. T. Anthony & Company, [that] company was formed in 1877, and I think the State Department moved into the State, War & Navy [now Old Executive Office Building] building in 1876 (the Navy and War wings were still under construction, but the State department wing was finished enough in 1875). That room appeared kind of small and plain for a room in that building (oppose the navy secretary's office), but on closer look I think it's bigger than it appears on first glance. According to this page, the office was "decorated with carved wood, Oriental rugs, and stenciled wall patterns". Not sure on the rug, but that might apply. And, photographs here, here, here, here, here, and here do seem to show a fairly plain room, with a very, very similar door style. The moldings are fancier in the later photographs, but those could have been changed at some point. I'd have to say it's the State, War, & Navy building. - (lightly edited from remarks by Carl Lindberg, originally made at User talk:Jmabel/Stereo cards of Washington, D.C.)

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
Public domain
This media file is in the public domain in the United States. This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1929, and if not then due to lack of notice or renewal. See this page for further explanation.
United States
United States
This image might not be in the public domain outside of the United States; this especially applies in the countries and areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada, Mainland China (not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany, Mexico, and Switzerland. The creator and year of publication are essential information and must be provided. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
