As office and residence of the president of the United States, the
White House is uniquely tied to both the life of the nation and the
private lives of the building’s occupants. Americans have
approached its grounds for celebrations and demonstrations, for
Easter Egg Rolls and the right to vote. Citizens have looked to the
White House for leadership during times of the gravest national
import, yet also to share in the joys and sorrows experienced by
the families living there. The White House has undergone many
changes through the years—some by blueprint, some by chance. Yet
the building has always stood solid, each alteration becoming a
part of its life experience. Historic Photos of the White
House contains nearly 200 images taken between the years 1846
and 1977. They show scenes of presidential business, intimate
family moments, public interaction, and various changes to the
White House itself. Together, these images provide a fascinating
view through history of an institution described as "the most
famous and highly cherished building in the whole country.”
