Sherrod Brown to get Obama's old Senate office

View the original

WASHINGTON — For the last two years, Sen. Sherrod Brown has occupied offices in the Russell Senate Office Building, a grand but aging place with lots of marble -- and not enough space for Brown's staff in the same suite. No more. Today, Brown and his staff are moving to the Hart building, a modern place with a giant Calder mobile-sculpture in the atrium (which bugs some Republicans) and linear patterns more attuned to architects than bureaucrats.

The previous occupant of Brown's office on Hart's seventh floor: Barack Obama, before he won the presidency in November.

Ohio's other senator, George Voinovich, is on Hart's fifth floor.

Obama left his old digs in good condition, Brown's staff reports.

"So far, it looks like no tuna fish sandwiches in the desk drawers or things like that," says spokeswoman Meghan Dubyak.
