<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n1. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue <\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs you arrive for your tour, you will be walking on the famous Pennsylvania Avenue. This is when it sunk in that I was really visiting the White House. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Northwest Block of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. The Secret Service <\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs soon as you get close to the White House, you will see Secret Service. They are everywhere. Even if you do not see them, they are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n3. The Exterior Of The White House<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe have seen so many pictures of the White House throughout our lives. In history books, on the news, and so much more. Seeing the white mansion up close made me awe-struck. On one hand, it looks like every picture you have ever seen. On the other hand, no pictures could ever do it justice. During the tour, you will get different glimpses of the exterior of the White House. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe White House as seen from the East Garden Room<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n4. The South Lawn<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you look outside the windows, you will see the South Lawn. I recognized this area most from Marine One. This grassy area outside is where Marine One (the President’s Helicopter) lands. Beyond the South Lawn<\/em><\/strong>, you will have views of the Ellipse, Washington Monument and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The East Lobby<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe tour begins on the east wing of The White House. You start in the East Lobby<\/em><\/strong> which is most recognizable with its wood paneling and a few portraits. One of my favorite portraits in The White House is Nancy Reagan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fun Fact:<\/span> This portrait was just used for her commemorative stamp released in 2022 by the USPS<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The East Colonnade<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe next stop on the tour is the East Colonnade.<\/em><\/strong> This is a pretty recognizable area of the White House. This hallway has framed photographs for your viewing. Since this is the first stop on the tour, everyone is soaking it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLooking down the East Colonnade<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA photo of: “President Barack Obama with his dog, Bo, in the East Colonnade<\/em><\/strong>, 2009″<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nI recognized the East Colonnade <\/em><\/strong>as the hallway where Melania Trump decorated with her controversial Christmas Trees. When this story was all over the news, I leaned over to my friends and said “I have been in that room!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tribute To The First Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou have heard of the first lady and the first family, but what about the first pets? There is a photo tribute in the East Colonnade<\/em><\/strong> that I became obsessed with. You will have a chance to glimpse into the softer side of our Presidents and meet the furry members of their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA photo of “President and Mrs. George W. Bush with their dogs, Barney and Spot, on the South Grounds, 2001”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA photo of: “President Gerald R. Ford with his dog, Liberty, in the Oval Office in 1975”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n8. Pictures Of Famous Moments At The White House <\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are an abundance of photos along the East Colonnade<\/em><\/strong>. It is mesmerizing seeing everything that has taken place on these grounds. Some of my favorite pictures include Princess Diana dancing with Ronald Reagan, and another of Queen Elizabeth planting a tree on the south lawn. Imagine instructing the Queen of England to plant a tree! <\/p>\n\n\n\nA photo of “Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and President George H. W. Bush plant a Littleloaf tree on the South Lawn, 1991”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA photo of “President Ronald W.

Trump receives a letter from North Korean Leader Kim Jung Un delivered by North Korean envoy Kim Yong-choi in the Oval Office, 2018”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n9. The East Garden Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe East Wing was built in 1902 and since that time has been the entrance to the White House for visitors and guests. <\/p>
The building was enlarged in 1942 to its current size to provide office space. The garden, seen through the windows, was named the Jacqueline Kenney Garden in 1965. Designed with ornamental hedges and seasonal flowers, this space can be used for informal entertaining. <\/p>– The East Wing Entrance and Kenney Garden<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Kennedy Garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Kennedy Garden<\/em><\/strong> is named to honor Jacqueline Kennedy. It sits outside the East Garden Room<\/em><\/strong> and offers views of the South Lawn<\/em><\/strong>. When we toured the White House, there was a soccer net set up for Barron Trump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vermeil Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce a billiard room, the room now displays selections from a collection of European and American vermeil (a French term meaning gilded silver) received by the White House in 1957. <\/p>
The 1,575 piece collection is on view throughout the house and contains examples of work by the most prominent English and French silversmiths working in the 18th and 19th centuries. <\/p>
Portraits of 20th century first ladies are also displayed here. <\/p>– The Vermeil Room<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Library <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Library contains over 2,700 books relating to American life. This room was used as the laundry until 1902 when it became a gentleman’s waiting room. It was turned into a library in 1935 and has been a favorite location for media tapings in the modern era. Most of the Federal furnishings were made in New York, 1800-1820. <\/p>
Above the mantel is a 1930 painting by Georgia O’ Keeffe entitled, Mountain at Bear Lake – Taos<\/em>, showing a sacred spot on the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico. <\/p>– The Library<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The China Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe China Room has been an exhibition space for tableware since 1917. Not every president has ordered state china, so both official and some family services are exhibited.  The 1918 Woodrow Wilson state service was the first White House service made in the United States.  The 1924 portrait of First Lady Grace Coolidge by Howard Chandler Christy features her white collie, Rob Roy. Her red dress was inspiration for the red d\u00e9cor, first introduced in 1963 during the John F. Kennedy administration. <\/p>

The China Room <\/em><\/strong>at The White House<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe China Room <\/em><\/strong>was one of my favorite parts of our tour. It reminded me of the movie The American President<\/em> in which they call this The Dish Room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. The East Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe largest room in the White House, the East Room has been the scene of state dinners, receptions, concerts, bill-signing ceremonies, award presentations, and press conferences. During the winter of 1800-1801, First Lady Abigail Adams had her laundry hung out to dry in the unfinished East Room. It was not decorated as a reception room until 1829 for President Andrew Jackson. <\/p>
Of the eight presidents who died in office, seven have laid in state in this room. It has been the location of wedding ceremonies for five presidential daughters, most recently Lynda Johnson in 1967. Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as President here on August 9, 1974. <\/p>

The chandeliers, light standards, benches and window cornices remain from the 1902 renovation. <\/p>
The portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart is the only object to have remained in the White House since it was first occupied in 1800. It was removed for safekeeping at the direction of First Lady Dolley Madison just before the mansion burned down during the War of 1812. <\/p>
The 1903 portrait of Theodore Roosevelt was painted from life at the White House by John Singer Sargent. <\/p>

The Green Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFrom 1801 to 1809, Thomas Jefferson used this room as a dining room, it became a formal parlor during James Madison’s presidency. <\/p>
By 1825 under John Quincy Adams, this room was known as the “Green Drawing Room” named for the color of the fabrics. Located on the center table are John and Abigail Adams’ silver hot water urn and James and Dolley Madison’s French candlesticks. The Federal-style furniture was made between 1800 and 1815. <\/p>
Scottish artist David Martin painted the portrait of the influential scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, in 1767. Independence Hall in Philadelphia by Ferdinand Richardt, seen over the sofa, shows the historic building and city life during the mid-19th century. <\/p>– The Green Room<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOval shaped rooms were the height of architectural fashion in the late 1700s. White House architect James Hoban designed a stack of three such rooms, forming the now distinctive bow of the south side. This oval room has served as the most formal parlor. <\/p>
President James Monroe furnished it in the French style in 1817. Original objects include most of the glided chairs, the sofa, and the clock on the mantel. <\/p>
It has been known as the Blue Room since the Marin Van Buren redecoration of 1837 when blue textiles were introduced. Grover Cleveland, the only president to have a  White House wedding, married Frances Folsom here in 188. Most holiday seasons, the official Christmas tree stands in the center of the room. <\/p>– The Blue Room <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Red Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Red Room was first decorated with red fabrics in 1845. It has been a parlor since the early 19th century and often used by first ladies to receive guests. President Rutherford B. Hayes took the oath of office in this room in 1877. <\/p>
Over the mantel is an 1842 portrait by Henry Inman of Angelica Singleton Van Buren, daughter-in-law and official hostess for President Martin Van Buren. The marble sculpture of the president seen in the painting is also displayed in this room. <\/p>
An 1804 portrait of Dolley Madison by Gilbert Stuart hangs over the door to the State Dining Room. <\/p>– The Red Room<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The State Dining Room <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis room was Thomas Jefferson’s office, where he and his secretary, Meriwether Lewis, planned the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1802. Since 1809, it has served as a State Dining Room. Using a series of round tables, as many has 140 people can dine in the room for formal events. <\/p>
The portrait of Abraham Lincoln, painted by George Healy in 1869, was submitted to a competition for an official portrait of the late president. It did not win and was purchased by Robert Todd Lincoln, whose widow bequeathed it to the White House in 1939. <\/p>– The State Dining Room <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump was welcoming the NCAA Champions to the White House and he ordered fast-food for their visit. As seen in the New Yorker<\/a><\/span>, he proudly posed in front of the food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we toured The White House<\/em><\/strong>, President Trump moved Bill Clinton and George W. Bush portraits. President Biden has since moved those back. When you visit, the location of these portraits may be slightly different depending on the administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your History Book Comes To Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\nI remember my high school history teacher dissecting John F. Kennedy’s portrait. He was convinced there was a deeper meaning behind his bowed head. Was he hiding something? Was he foreseeing his fate? Whatever it may be, it was an amazing experience getting to see a piece of history that I studied in history class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
