WASHINGTON \u2014 New photos of the Kennedy Center show President Donald Trump\u2019s name has been taken down from the building\u2019s facade after a monthslong court battle and the recent addition of a tarp blocking public viewing of the removed signage.<\/p>

Scaffolding and a tarp erected June 13, a day after a federal judge\u2019s deadline to remove Trump\u2019s name from the iconic performing arts center, have hidden the removal from the public.<\/p>

Mallory Miller, a former Kennedy Center employee and a co-founder of the activist group Hands Off the Arts, which provided the photos to NBC News, said she thinks the tarp\u2019s continued presence is an intentional act to spare Trump\u2019s ego.<\/p>

\u201cWhat is clear to me is the Trump administration does not want to see that building without Trump\u2019s name on the facade before they could go through all their appeals,\u201d Miller said Monday night.<\/p>

The Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night on why the tarp and scaffolding remained nearly 10 days after Trump\u2019s name was removed.<\/p>

The Washington Post first reported on the new photos.<\/p>

Congress named the building the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in 1964. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963, and his successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson, signed the bill into law two months later, in January.<\/p>

The changed signage in December read: \u201cThe Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.\u201d That came after Trump\u2019s handpicked board at the center voted to add his name to it.<\/p>
