Trowbridge House different from Presidential Townhouse
The Trowbridge House is a historic building located in Washington, D.C., that as of 2015 is being renovated to serve as a presidential residence, specifically for the use of former presidents of the United States while visiting the capital city. The only US government residential facility currently dedicated for use by former presidents is the Presidential Townhouse.Constructed in 1859 as the residence of William P.
