Despite the pushback from some community members, construction began in June 1986 with the frame and supporting pillars at Seventh and H Street N.W. Because of traffic on H Street during the day, a lot of the work had to be done at night. Certain parts of the archway, like the seven roofs evocative of Chinese pagodas and the dou gong supports underneath them, were built in China and then installed in Washington. The structure had a total of 7,000 red, gold, blue, and green tiles, and the finishing touches included 272 painted dragons and gold foil, a material so fragile that it had to be applied using bamboo sticks rather than human hands. The design was inspired by architecture from the Ming and Ching dynasties, when royals favored elaborate arches.
Based on information I gleaned while posting the linked photo, this is OV-103 some time between November 6 & 8, 1983, while at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB). Discovery arrived there November 6 from Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) and departed November 8, 1983, enroute to Carswell Air Force Base as part of her delivery to KSC on November 9, 1983.
In this well-composed & rare photo, the Orbiter/Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) combination is seen at the Orbiter Lifting Fixture (OLF), a scaled-down version of the Mate-Demate Device (MDD) used at EAFB. At the time, NASA and the Department of Defense planned to fly space shuttles, with Discovery as the designated orbiter, from Vandenberg’s Space Launch Complex-6 (SLC-6) on military polar orbital missions, beginning with STS-62A in 1986.

Note the white color of the SCA, with a single blue stripe. The original American Airlines livery was repainted to this before flying to the May 1983 Paris Air Show.
I think that’s the red Ingersoll-Rand logo on the side of the pushback tractor.
Lastly, the kinda softish Airman in the lower left foreground, possibly on a walkie-talkie. I hope he wasn’t providing physical security.
