The pentagon didn’t have window units until around 2000.

Some did. I lived in Beauregard in the early 90s, and it had window units.

That AC saved us when LSU decided winter was a good time to replace the insulation in the basement boiler room. First floor turned into an oven. You couldn’t walk on the floor with bare feet it was so hot. We had to run our window units just to cope with the heat, even though it was cold outside. The windows were locked shut. Showering was impossible because there was no cold water, only scolding hot. They finally cut the window locks after a couple of weeks to give us some relief.
