According to the National Register of Historic Places, the building—originally called the State, War, and Navy Building because it housed the Departments of State, War, and the Navy—was built between 1871 and 1888 in the French Second Empire-style. It was designed by Alfred B. Mullett, Supervising Architect. The Old Executive Office Building was renamed the Dwight D.

Bush participated in a rededication ceremony on May 7, 2002.
