    I think all federal buildings in the US have a photo of the President (and also, likely, the cabinet member who is in charge of whatever bureau you’re in).

    It might vary by state, but state government building will also usually have a photo of the Governor of said state (chief executive).

    I’m not sure when that started… My guess would be either WW2, or Reagan

      Similarly, US military buildings often have the entire chain of command’s pictures posted, from the Commander in Chief down to the CO of that building
