Many may know this but the White House today is nothing like what it was, it was gutted in the 1950s and only the exterior walls are original. Everything inside was replaced, using steel supports. All the original floors, walls, etc. are gone, but I think they saved some of the mantle pieces and other trim. Amazingly, some at the time recommended completely razing and replacing with a new building.

It's so sad that America is no longer this free. Even through wars and slavery, our country died when the internet was born, and the courts of public opinion ruled Supreme. You want your socialism, you got it. Be careful what you wish for.

It's "The President's March," aka "Hail, Columbia." It was composed in 1789 for George Washington's first inauguration. 🐧

I find playing Dixie during the appearance of the Civil War photographs somewhat inappropriate. 😒

It’s a reflection of music that was popular at the time. President Lincoln once remarked that it was one of his favorite tunes

Why didn't the White House have a fence?
@MCO187 жыл бұрын
The public had free access to the White House in those days because it was considered the "people's house". I believe it wasn't until WWII that increased security measures began to restrict public access to the way it is today.

Wow, that's unthinkable today. It's strange how they were not as worried about security.
