It is unfortunate that the inau-
gural crowds will be unable to pass
through the White House, now un-
der repair. Indeed, it will be diff
cult for many of the visitors to
realize that the Trumans are not
residing there. However, this is
not the first time the White House
has been temporarily vacated,
Presidents Madison, Theodore Roose-
welt and Coolidge also had to vacate
while workmen took over.
Of all our presidents, George
Washington alone was not an occu-
pant, but he did approve the plans
and site selected by Maj. L'Enfant.
The cornerstone was laid October
13, 1892.
After the British troops under
the overall commands of Gen. Ross
and Admiral Cockburn set fire to
the interior Of the White House on
August "a, 1914, and scorched its
then drab, buff sandstone walls,
President Madison and his wife
Dolly occupied Octagon House for
the remainder of President Madi-
sons term of Office. (Still standing
at Eighteenth street and New York
avenue NV, Octagon House is now
the official headquarters OF the
American Institute OF Architects
by whom 1t is preserved as a land
mark
In the course Of the repairs the
White House walls were first painted
white to hide the smoke stains left
by the British. Hence arose the
nov familiar designation, the
White House.
Green Houses, Gadgets Removed.
In 1923, while Theodore Roose-
welt was President, he and his fam
lily lived temporarily in house on
Jackson place NV, since torn
down to make way for an office
building. This was while many
excrescences, including glass green
houses were removed, and the
building was brought back to
the fine lines of its early planning
by James Hoban. The official re-
port of the construction firm in
charge states: Some of the floor
beams are tired. very tired. and
signs of the fire Of 1914 are still
visible"
1t was President Theodore Roose-
welt who followed up the structural
repairs to the Executive Mansion
during his regime, by officially desig-
mating it as the White House. At
various times and in other admin
istrations the Executive Mansion
had been referred to as the Presi-
dents Palace" and "the Presidents
House" President Jackson liked the
name. "the Presidents House
While President Coolidge was in
the White House repairs to the
roof and attic construction and GER
tain additions to the third floor
were made. To meet the presidential
housing emergency, the late Mrs.
Eleanor Patterson placed her resi-
dence, IS Dupont circle. at the dis
posal of President and Mrs. Cool
idge.

in the way of an official "levee," "
she borrowed sufficient china to
hold one in the large oval room at
the top of the second-f1oor stairs,
subsequently turned into a library
and sitting room by President and
Mrs. Fillmore. Always a consideS-
ate and thoughtful hostess, her con-
cern was great that this occasion
could not be considered "the house.
warming" it should have been be-
cause of the continuing dampness
in the walls"
In the 14S years, going on 14s,
which have elapsed since then. it
is nothing short of amazing that
the White House itself continues
almost unchanged in its general
plan. As President Roosevelt said
of the almost religious care exer-
cised in the conservation of its
essential characteristics, TT is a
good thing to preserve such build

Other Repairs to White House
Djspossessed Three Presidents

There was a time though when
the serene beauty Of the White
House was not so securely en-
Shrined in the hearts of those who
beheld it as it is today Benjamin
Stoddert; prominent Georgetown
businessman and banker, whom
President John Adams appointed
the first Secretary of the Navy, re-
ferred to it slightingly as that

ANY homemaker, either of today
or of the Federalist era, can un-
derstand and sympathize with Abb
gail Adams when she and John
Adams moved into the incompleted
mansion in November, 18O0
'The principal stairs are not up
and will not be this winter. The
house is habitable by fires in every
part, 13 of which We are obliged
to keep going or sleep in wet and
damp places. The house is upon q
grand and superb scale, requiring
about 30 servants to attend and
keep the whole in proper order
and perform the ordinary business
of house and stable. To assist us
in this great castle and render less
attendance necessary, bells are
wholly wanting, not a single one
being hung throughout the whole
house. If they will put up some
bells and let me have enough wood
to keep the necessary fires, I de-
sign to be pleased"
East Room as a Drying Room.
With workmens sheds occupying
what are now the rolling lawns to
the south of the White House,
Mistress Adams showed her re-
sourcefulness by using the then
barnlike and wholly unfinished
east room as drying room for
the family linen. To meet the obli-
cations of her husbands position
