I am a blessed individual to have the love, support, and encouragement from each member of my family and closest friends. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to Candace Shireman, Curator of Blair House, The President’s Guest House, for her support, assistance, and guidance as my mentor. Her enthusiasm and positive energy greatly encouraged my interest in researching the 1960s era of Blair House. As my professional mentor, she has provided the best curatorial training and work experience in a government residence. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Randell Bumgardner, Blair House General Manager, George Kanellos, U.S. General Services Administration Historic Preservation Specialist, Ambassador Selwa Carmen Showker Roosevelt, Ande Metzger, Administrator of the Blair House Restoration Fund, and all the staff members at Blair House. Some of my greatest memories will remain with the staff, who made me feel a part of the Blair House family. My deepest thanks and appreciation to Professor, Dr. Jennifer Van Horn. Through her courses on material culture and academic guidance, I gained a significant passion to interpret historic interiors through the lens of social culture. Thanks to Cindy Williams, Former Director of the Smithsonian-George Mason University Masters Program in the History of Decorative Arts for all her encouragement and support. A special thanks to my first art teacher, Aria Finch. She quickly noticed my passion for the arts and heavily encouraged me to pursue my dreams. I also want to thank my siblings, Amy and Jason, for their encouragement, love, and support. Lastly, a special thanks to my parents, George and Cynthia Botello, who pushed a very shy boy into Ms. Aria’s art classes. I will never be able to express my appreciation and love for the both of you. You are both my greatest role models. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page List of Figures .................................................................................................................... vi List of Abbreviations ......................................................................................................... ix Abstract ............................................................................................................................... x Introduction: An Outdate Blair House ................................................................................ 1 Chapter One: A New Vision of Function and Hospitality .................................................. 8 Chapter Two: Renovating a Diplomatic Residence .......................................................... 25 Blair Front and Rear Drawing Room and Blair Dining Room ..................................... 26 Lee Dining Room .......................................................................................................... 53 Lee Drawing Room ....................................................................................................... 76 The President’s Study.................................................................................................... 86 Lee Entrance Hall and Second Floor Landing .............................................................. 99 The Lincoln Room ...................................................................................................... 106 Chapter Three: Renovating the Private Quarters ............................................................ 112 The King’s Library ...................................................................................................... 112 Second Floor Bedrooms .............................................................................................. 123 Conclusion: A Diplomatic Extension of the White House ............................................. 140 References ....................................................................................................................... 148 v LIST OF FIGURES Figure Page Figure 1 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chats with Robin Chandler Lynn. .................... 11 Figure 2 President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan of India Departs White House. ........... 11 Figure 3 The Blair House Fine Arts Committee List. ....................................................... 15 Figure 4 The Blair House Fine Arts Committee Agenda. ................................................ 22 Figure 5 Front Exterior of Blair House, Washington, D.C ............................................... 27 Figure 6 The President’s Guest House, First Floor Plan. ................................................. 29 Figure 7 The President’s Guest House, Second Floor Plan. ............................................. 30 Figure 8 The President’s Guest House, Third Floor Plan. ................................................ 31 Figure 9 The President’s Guest House, Fourth Floor Plan. .............................................. 32 Figure 10 Blair Rear Drawing Room. 2008.. .................................................................... 33 Figure 11 Blair Front Drawing Room. 2014.. ................................................................... 33 Figure 12 Letter from Mrs. Francis Henry Lenygon, F.A.I.D. to Mrs. Robin Chandler Duke.

Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

  • 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.

(1885-1982) Children: 1 d. Margaret "You know, it's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you - - and on my desk I have a motto which says The Buck Stops Here" Harry Truman, National War College, December 19th, 1952 'Give 'em hell' Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States and also the 33rd tallest. He was born on May 8th, 1884 and died at age 88 on December 22nd, 1972. Of note also is that V- E Day occurred on Truman's birthday on May 8th, 1945. He had no middle name. His parents gave him the middle initial, 'S', to honor his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. He married his wife Elizabeth 'Bess' Wallace on June 28, 1919; he had previously proposed in 1911 and she turned him down; but they finally got engaged in 1913. She had been in his class at school when he was six and she was five, and she sat in the desk immediately behind him. The couple had one child, Mary Margaret Truman. Harry was a little man who did a lot, standing just 5 feet 9 inches tall which is short for a president.

  • Handrails Installation at Blair House Complex Entrance Stairs
    704 Jackson Place, NW: Proposed addition of secondary, code-compliant handrails at entrance stair Constructed in 1861 and purchased by the U.S. Government in 1950, the rowhouse at 704 Jackson Place, NW was incorporated into the President's Guest House in 1969. The rowhouse is adjacent to (north of) the corner rowhouse at Jackson Place and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The Blair House Complex is occupied by the U.S. Department of State and serves our nation’s diplomatic activities. The entrance, which faces Jackson Place and Lafayette Square, is the primary entry for Blair House public events, such as the annual holiday gatherings, hosted by the U.S. Department of State. The brownstone stair assembly was installed in the late 1980's, replicating the original, which was removed due to its severe deterioration. A safety concern has been noted, as the brownstone railings’ width and height do not afford a safe means of grabbing and holding should a person entering or exiting the building lose balance, particularly when the steps are wet. Further, the ambient lighting on Jackson Place is low, adding to the safety concern of those using the stairs. GSA proposes adding a pair of secondary, ABA Standards code-compliant handrails, following the example of those added at public historic building entrances throughout the District of Columbia. The simple railings are designed to acknowledge their additive, secondary status, while being compatible with the brownstone railings. The proposed handrails have as small a diameter top rail as allowable to meet code (1 ½ inches), the smallest cross section picket structurally feasible, (1 1/8 inches), and the minimum structurally acceptable number of pickets to support the top rail.

  • The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They Check the Tapes out of the Locked and Guarded Room of the Executive Of- Fice Building Next Door to the White House
    THE PRESIDENCY/HUGH SIDEY The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They check the tapes out of the locked and guarded room of the Executive Of- fice Building next door to the White House. Then Stephen Bull, special assistant to the President, sorts them out by number and date, as designated in the subpoenas. It is not all that easy to find the exact conversations that the prosecutors want. While the tape reels from the Oval Office have only one day's conversation or less on them, the reels from the President's hideaway in the E.O.B. may have as much as a week's conversation, depending on how frequently he secluded himself in that office. The recordings from the bugged phones in the Oval Office, the Lincoln Sit- ting Room and the E.O.B. may have as much as two or three weeks of conver- sation on them. Tension and concern now run so high in the White House over the tapes and the future of Richard Nixon that Bull and others have instituted a kind of Fail- Safe system to help guard the integrity of the tapes, or whatever of it remains. Bull will not handle the original reels. He gets only duplicates. He carefully takes each 5- in. reel and puts it on a small Sony tape recorder whose erase mechanism has been immobilized by White House technicians. Then he clamps earphones on his head and begins to track down the specified conversations that the court has ordered to be turned over. When Bull finds the right conversation he stops the machine.

  • 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.

  • Primary Source Document with Questions (Dbqs) the POTSDAM DECLARATION (JULY 26, 1945) Introduction the Dropping of the Atomic Bo
    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) THE POTSDAM DECLARATION (JULY 26, 1945) Introduction The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains among the most controversial events in modern history. Historians have actively debated whether the bombings were necessary, what effect they had on bringing the war in the Pacific to an expeditious end, and what other options were available to the United States. These very same questions were also contentious at the time, as American policymakers struggled with how to use a phenomenally powerful new technology and what the long-term impact of atomic weaponry might be, not just on the Japanese, but on domestic politics, America’s international relations, and the budding Cold War with the Soviet Union. In retrospect, it is clear that the reasons for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan, just like the later impact of nuclear technology on world politics, were complex and intertwined with a variety of issues that went far beyond the simple goal of bringing World War II to a rapid close. The Potsdam Declaration was issued on July 26, 1945 by U.S. President Harry Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, who were meeting in Potsdam, Germany to consider war strategy and post-war policy. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin also attended the Potsdam Conference but did not sign the Declaration, since the Soviet Union did not enter the war against Japan until August 8, 1945.
