The White House: An Historic Guide

Since 1962, the celebrated spaces and rich history of the President's House have been portrayed in this continually updated guidebook. This edition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the book's release with a new design, updated text, and new photography. The State Floor, Ground Floor, Second Floor, and West Wing are presented with richly illustrated historical text. For the first time, the guide offers a walking tour of the exterior, with a key to its architectural elements and grounds. Now visitors viewing the White House from the streets of Washington, D.C. and armchair tourists at home can experience an intimate tour of the house.
