  • The White House Fence Historic Timeline Overview Compiled May 2019
    The White House Fence Historic Timeline Overview Compiled May 2019 President Thomas Jefferson ordered the construction of a wooden post and rail fence around the White House. By 1808, he had replaced the fence with a stone wall that enclosed the White House Grounds. At the south end of the grounds, a ha-ha wall (a sunken wall that serves as a vertical barrier while providing an uninterrupted view of the landscape) 1801 stood to prevent livestock from grazing in the garden. President Jefferson envisioned the South Grounds as a private garden with serpentine walks and a lawn that extended down to Tiber Creek (which runs under present-day Constitution Avenue), edged by a flower border. The North Grounds were to be formal, symmetrical, and open to the public. A new semicircular driveway marked by eight stone piers, an iron fence 1818-1819 and gates was built across the North Front of the White House. A long and heavy wrought iron fence was installed along Pennsylvania Avenue on the north side of the White House. Jefferson’s stone wall was 1833 cut down along this run and served as the foundation for the new fence. This work was integrated into the existing 1818-1819 semicircular fencing. East (1866) and West (1872) Executive Avenues were built on each side of the White House to serve as public streets. During World War II, both avenues were closed as a major security measure. West Executive Avenue, which runs between the White House and the Eisenhower Executive 1866 and 1872 Office Building, was turned into a staff parking lot and never reopened after the war.
