    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.

  • The White House Washington, D.C
    The White House Washington, D.C. USA 21006_BI.indd 1 4/13/2010 6:10:02 PM James Hoban James Hoban, 1762-1831, was born in Desart, near Callan, County Kilkenny, Ireland. Hoban was raised at Cuff esgrange, 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 The White House Historical Association (White House Collection) Church, the fi rst 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 4/21/2010 1:33:08 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. The plan of Washington In 1791 President George Washington appointed Pierre Charles L’Enfant to design the new capital city.

  • Public Spaces of the White House
    Classroom Resource Packet Public Spaces of the White House INTRODUCTION Thousands of people visit the White House every year. During public tours, visitors walk through rooms that have been used by presidents and their families for over two centuries. Years ago, curious guests could knock on the front door of the White House and ask to see inside. Today, visitors wait weeks or even months to gain access for a tour of the President’s House. Discover the history and different uses of the public spaces that are part of the public tour of the White House. CONTEXTUAL ESSAY In recent years, visitors pass through the East Wing to enter the main part of the White House on the Ground Floor. Until 1902, the Ground Floor was primarily a basement area that housed kitchens, a furnace room, and storage (Image 1). Today, the finished space contains several public rooms that hold important artifacts of American history (Image 2). One of the first rooms that visitors see is the Library. This was first created as a private library for President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935 (Image 3). The China Room, once a cloakroom, now displays examples of china and glassware from nearly every presidential administration (Image 4). The full-length portrait of First Lady Grace Coolidge inspired the red decorations of the room. Portraits of other first ladies hang in the Vermeil Room, which contains the White House collection of gilded silver, or vermeil, giving the room its name (Image 5). Image 3 From the Ground Floor, visitors walk upstairs to the State Floor.
