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. 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. With a selection of fine historic images
from their best-selling book Historic Photos of the White
House, Emily J. and John S. Salmon provide a valuable and
revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of
this national treasure. Remembering the White
House contains more than 125 photographs taken between the
years 1846 and 1973. 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.”
