Secretary Bessent Reopens Treasury Building’s Historic Gallatin Entrance

WASHINGTON – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has reopened the historic front entrance of the Treasury Department building at 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, marking the first time the entry has been open since the 2020 COVID pandemic.“These doors have witnessed great American history, and they were closed for too long. For the first time in almost 5 years, we opened those doors. America is back. Another sign of the Golden Age that President Trump is leading,” stated Secretary Bessent. This entryway, framed by monolithic Corinthian columns, is known as the Gallatin entrance in honor of the Albert Gallatin, the fourth and longest serving Treasury Secretary, who served from 1801 to 1814.
