This is the main staircase in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) which is part of the White House complex in Washington, D.C.
It was built between 1871 and 1888, on the site of the original 1800 War/State/Navy Building and the White House stables, in the French Second Empire style. As its first name suggests, it was initially built to house three departments. While the building's elaborate style received substantial criticism at first, it has since been designated as a National Historic Landmark. It was for years the world's largest office building, with 566 rooms and about 10 acres (40,000 m2) of floor space. Most White House staff have their offices in the EEOB.–from Wikipedia

This is the staircase from the "Friedenswarte". This was built for the 25th anniversary of the GDR. Today, as then, it serves as a lookout tower and offers a wonderful view of "Brandenburg an der Havel"

I love this place, though it's a shame some people decided they wanted to pinch a huge percentage of the staircase :(
