No mistake

Perhaps, but if the building was under the threat of "...constant threat of attack, especial by airplanes being flown into the building" - in the words of Pentagon security - then it is certainly not unreasonable to think that Pentagon security would want radar there.

They would want everything they could get hands on.

Prudence alone dictates that you have not only radar, but also anti-aircraft assets of all kinds around your military headquarters. Any kid playing a RTS game knows this, and you can bet your bottom hash mark that the brass did too.

There are scant few things one could mistake for anti-aircraft batteries, and it just stands to reason that the headquarters of the United States military would have these kinds of defensive assets in place, especially since the threat of hijacked aircraft had long been recognized, all the more so since everyone knew that the Pentagon would be a primary target.
