Descriere

Real Life at the White House

Celebrate the 200th anniversary of the White House with this richly illustrated new book on America's if not the world's most famous residence. Abigail Adams dried her wash in the unfinished East Room. Benjamin Harrison left the lights burning all night because he feared being shocked by the newly installed electric switches. LBJ waged an obsessive battle with the water pressure in the shower demanding shower heads on all sides. His successor Richard Nixon promptly had them removed. The White House has not always been the ideal home and as each president moved in he transformed the house in small and large ways to fit his family's needs. Real Life at the White House celebrates two centuries of domestic life in this historic abode. In forty-two chapters - one for each administration - this stylish sourcebook takes us on an intimate tour of the daily life of each president and his family bringing into view everything from china patterns to built-in closets (a luxury added during the Truman renovation) from plumbing to telephones (Coolidge refused to use the phone for business) from architectural structure to state dinners and family meals. Filled with hundreds of anecdotes photographs and presidential quotes from Washington(who never lived there but oversaw the first plans) to Clinton this thoroughly engaging book captures the texture of presidential life while documenting the very human history of a house. .
