Did you know that the pentagon was originally planned to exist on a lot that bordered five sides of roads? So, the architects designed a five-sided building. However, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was concerned about the location blocking the view of Washington from the Arlington Cemetery, so he chose to move it to its present location, but still maintained the five-sided design. The Pentagon is the headquarters of the Department of Defense and is located at Richmond Hwy./VA 110 at I-395, Arlington, Virginia.
