The CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia, has a campus structure with surprising history

The CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia, is one of the most secure and secretive compounds in the world. About 10 miles outside of Washington, D.C., it's where thousands of CIA officers work to protect against foreign threats. The oldest structure on campus is a four-story, Georgian revival-style house whose history and inhabitants may be surprising.

We liked the property, it’s now ours. We’re claiming imminent domain.

That quick glance to off camera angle 2:52 felts suspicious 😂

Interesting story. The renovation leaves a lot to be desired. Wish they would have worked with a historic preservation specialist.

Only the government would get a free house let it go to heck and then use the taxpayers money to fix it up again

I love how they commercialized the house. It is so nice they were able to save it and transform a residential home for commercial use. Exit signs and that kitchen!

That basement looks a little....torturey.

6:51 cause nothing says taking care of it like letting it fall into disrepair then completely renovating it to modern standards

Room 3 is the room that Elvis stayed in when he was there. Nobody is ever, ever allowed into that room. I wonder why?

The drone shot at the beginning shows that house has five air conditioners outside. Thats about four too many for a house that size. So what’s really going on in there? 😂

What a great story. News agencies should do more pieces like this; news that changes how we see our country's mission and history

Amazing funfact story! Did you notice all the AC units on the left from the aerial view? Cooling a LOT of rooms to include door#3 :)

The talking head on the left missed the part of the story where the Ladies went ahead of the Company and had an agreement before the agency got it. They didn't "Let" them. 1:49 in.
