I’ve been lucky enough to visit the White House 8 times. Each time you notice something new. My favorite of the colored rooms is the Green Room. I especially like a coffee urn that’s on display in front of a sofa. The one time I haven’t been able to visit, but I always wished I could, was during the holidays to see the decorations. Between Christmas and New Year’s Day, special nighttime candle lit tours are offered during the evening hours. The marine band entertains in the Cross Hall performing Christmas music. If you ever plan on traveling to Washington, contact your congressman’s office to request tickets. It really is worth seeing.
I would LOVE to go spend time in the curator's office! My interest is in the history of the house itself, regardless of who is currently living there. I was also surprised when we toured in person in 2012 that the rooms seemed smaller in person than in pictures & video coverage, & that north portico, I really wonder how many people took that too sharply because that also seems more narrow when you see it in person.
The Truman renovation was 100% necessary as the whole thing was in danger of collapse. He bit the bullet after years of kicking the can down the road by his predecessors.
A major omission was the Truman reconstruction of 1948-1952, which gutted the entire White House to its 4 exterior walls and then rebuilt the interior from scratch using modern codes and materials. Also, Jacqueline Kennedy's 1961 White House Fine Arts Committee and redecoration of rhe public rooms set standards of historical integrity and property management still practiced today. And the East Room's use for large gatherings such as major presidential speeches, funerals, concerts, and diplomatic events might also be of interest to viewers.
Thanks for the this. Was waiting for this point in the video, when it never came I went to the comments to make sure someone had already covered this point. Comment should be pinned 👍
Matthew 6:19-20 🔴 [19]“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20]but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
So James Monroe moved back into the White House In 1871 after he been dead for 40 years? Did President Grant have any objections to this? How did this all work?
Sounds like the perfect time for Monroe's corspe to shuffle around and try to usher in a second era of good feelings...only since Grant hallucinated the entire thing in a drunken stupor, it led to the (first) Guilded Age instead.
Really enjoyed the video, I enjoy history so much as well. Just one correction…James Monroe moved back into the White House in 1817…not 1871…(3:48) keep up the great work looking forward to viewing more history videos.

@@shawnwalsh5430 contrast the White House and its 55,000 square feet, with Buckingham Palace’s 800,000+ square feet-and that is far from the only home sitting on the backs of the taxpayers of Great Britain.
It's really quite amazing how many Americans don't know about the Canadians burning down the Whitehouse until they go to sports games and the Canadian crowd start singing the great song😊
Good video but I'm confused. I heard somewhere else that the main house has 4 floors, but it sure doesn't look like that from the outside. Also he guided us through the main floor then went up to the 'first' floor(?). Maybe he's British, as they call the second floor the first.
I just wish that there was an extensive video on the actual ‘residence’ for the president, like their personal living quarters. But I understand that those areas are off limits to being recorded? Is that correct, I’ve never seen a video of that area.

Thank you for this interesting video. I knew little about White House history, and so I learned a lot.

I remember the 1st time I saw it in person driving down 16th Street 40+ years ago and noticing how small it looked from the outside.

How did you miss Mrs. Kennedy and her tremendous work contribution?
I think you flipped Monroe’s year of presidency from 1817 to 1871
First Time Traveling President.
I don't care what's inside the White House. I'm interested in what's below it. How far down does it extend? How many floors and tunnels are there?
Because you're already questioning it, you have some idea. You'd be amazed.
More importantly… where do they keep the gimp?
@@BillMcGirr The military/government opportunity was there for all of us. Some went that way, others became "normies" you gave up that opportunity.

5:00 mark. It’s covered.

@@markcrites7060 thought he passed in 1831
@aaronperry32 what's 1831 + 40?
Surely he meant to say 1817, which is when James Monroe took office.
What's inside the White House? I'll take, Liars for 500, Alex.
Thank you Ryan
What about Lincolns room???

heard you can find coca there...in one of the lockers.
More likely in the library where it was found before they realized how close it was to the first crackhead! It was then "actually found in a locker" 😂
A Room you missed was the President's Personal Office.
Sitting at the Resolute Desk, and looking left, a door leads to the President's Personal Office
I still miss the old music. I hum it every time.
