The still image shows the front façade of Columbia House in Berlin-Tempelhof, which in 1955 served as an Officers Club for the US forces. Above the entrance portal supported by pillars, the sign “Columbia House — Officers Club” is clearly legible. A uniformed guard stands at the entrance; in the foreground, civilian Berliners pass along the street, including a cyclist. Columbia House, a massive representative building from the Nazi era, had been taken over by the US forces after the war’s end and served as an exclusive social and meeting place for Allied officer personnel. The image is exemplary of the permanent military presence of the Western Allies in divided Berlin and of the spatial penetration of the cityscape by occupation infrastructure.
