  • France Invades the 1961 White House
    France Invades the 1961 White House Christopher Early East Carolina University Visual Arts and Design Faculty Mentor Hunt McKinnon East Carolina University Throughout its history, America‟s White House has undergone many changes through its many administrations. While a select few presidents worked to improve it, most others merely neglected it. No one, however, worked harder in restoring the White House interior than Jacqueline Kennedy, wife of President John F. Kennedy, who occupied the Executive Mansion from January 1961 until November 1963. Soon after Kennedy‟s election to the presidency in November 1960, a pregnant Jacqueline Kennedy visited the White House, as per protocol, and was given a tour of her soon-to-be-home by the outgoing First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower. “Jackie‟s first visit to the White House was her coming-out party as the next first lady.” 1 After viewing the condition of the White House, Mrs. Kennedy was appalled by its drab furniture and design. She was shocked that the White House interior, that of America‟s preeminent home, had been so woefully decorated. To her, it was nothing short of a national disgrace. Soon after taking up residence in the White House, both the President and his First Lady were struck by how depressing, drab, and tasteless the home appeared. Furniture in rooms did not match with each other, nor did paintings adorning the walls. There were no unifying themes in individual rooms or the mansion as a whole. “To her dismay she found the upstairs family quarters decorated with what she called „early Statler‟; it was so cheerless and undistinguished it wasn‟t even worthy of a second-class hotel.

  • White House Oval Office Scavenger Hunt for All Ages
    White House Oval Office Scavenger Hunt for all ages Facts about the Oval Office: This is a full-scale replica of The White House Oval Office. The West Wing where it is located was built in 1902 during President Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency. The first Oval Office was built in 1909 during the presidency of William Howard Taft. Painted green, it included a skylight that was later removed. The West Wing burned in 1929; only the fireplace mantel survives from that earlier era. To improve private access and light, President Franklin Roosevelt moved the room to its current location in 1934 and added the three French doors leading to the Rose Garden. The room’s architecture has changed little since except for the flooring. Presidents decorate the office to suit their own personal tastes and needs. Neither President Eisenhower nor Carter changed the room as furnished by their predecessors. President Obama added a striped wallpaper in 2010. A portrait of George Washington is always present in the Oval Office. The painting over the mantel here is a reproduction of an original by Rembrandt Peale done in 1853. The Presidential desk is a reproduction of “The Resolute Desk”, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. The plaque on the face of the desk tells its story. It first appeared in the Oval Office of President John F. Kennedy. While many have used the desk in their private study, it was also in the Oval Office of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush and the current President, Barack Obama.

Hoban was raised at Cuffesgrange, Co. Kilkenny where he learned carpentry skills. He studied architecture at the Royal Dublin Society. During the American Revolutionary War, Hoban emigrated to the United States, and established himself as an architect in Philadelphia in 1781. Hoban moved to South Carolina in 1787, with his brothers Philip and Joseph; he lived there for at least six more years. We know little of Hoban’s life in South Carolina except that he formed a partnership with carpenter Pierce Purcell and became well known among the gentry for his ability as an architect and builder. He was a founding vestryman in 1791 of Saint Mary’s Church, Collection) House (White Association Historical House White The the first Catholic church established in the Carolinas. Among Hoban’s references were some of the most prominent citizens of Charleston: Henry Laurens, a close friend of President George Washington; fellow Irishman Aedanus Burke; and American Revolutionary War General William Moultrie. 2 21006_BI.indd 2 25/6/14 12:46 pm Hoban’s name has been connected with public buildings and plantation houses in the Charleston area, most notably the historic Charleston County Courthouse and the William Seabrook house. Another prominent building in Charleston, actually documented as a Hoban design, was a 1,200-seat theater on Savage’s Green that no longer survives.

    H. R. Haldeman Diaries Collection, January 18, 1969 – April 30, 1973 National Archives and Records Administration, Online Public Access Catalog Identifier: 7787364 Friday, January 31. Staff meeting - Ehrlichman and Alex - Harlow not there. President called me in regarding the day's schedule. Upset about visit to reconstruction site - and even more about meeting with Senator Javits - but agreed to go ahead. President did reconstruction site visit (great press) and trip to Pentagon, returning at noon. Had long session regarding schedule and called Kissinger and me in to meeting with General Goodpaster regarding Kissinger's problems with State. President refused to tackle it head-on. Started by shifting schedule and personnel responsibilities regarding State from Kissinger to me - to get Kissinger out of trivia. Especially emphasized this regarding trip. Agreed to change plan and send Ehrlichman as head of advance team because I should be where President is. Put me in overall charge of the trip - work out way to hold control over State. Lots of problems today: above plus Hardin's stubborn insistence on appointing an Assistant Secretary that can't be confirmed, feed grain price level, etc. President takes them on one by one - no sweat. Great show as three Ambassadors arrive to present credentials - troops along South Drive, trumpeters fanfare from balcony. President went out on porch to watch departure. Had Tim in the office - can't get him to come over by President's desk - he's trying dog biscuits, no use. Long session with Harlow - schedule meetings with Congressmen and Senators. President still groping to find orderly schedule plan that he likes.

  • White House Open City Securing Access at the President's Park
    National Park Service White House Open City U.S. Department of the Interior Securing Access at the President’s Park Icon For nearly two centuries the White House was a cherished symbol of liberty, justice, and accountability in government. Though the symbolism sometimes seemed empty, the meaning of the People’s House was surprisingly resilient and remarkably enduring. Until today. Our government tells us that we are at war with an enemy who wants to destroy us. Our government tells us that our most precious values and beliefs are under attack. Our government tells us that they hate us because we are free. Our government responds by attacking our most precious values and beliefs. Our government responds by jeopardizing the very freedoms it claims to protect. Our government responds by tarnishing our reputation and besmirching our beloved icons. The White House today is a symbol of obfuscation and opacity, of injustice and unaccountability. From behind a forbidding wall of Executive Privilege and National Security, the White House refuses to grant the people access. Fortress America has reached 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the President’s Park is now off limits. Map of Washington, D.C., 1819 Open City In 2008, we, the people, respond by declaring the White House an Open City. Unfortified and undefended, it is thus exempt from enemy attack, whether this enemy dwells on foreign shores or occupies the Oval Office. In declaring the White House an Open City we intend, quite literally, to return the People’s House to the people, and to preserve this icon of freedom and democracy for future generations.
