Under the administration of Truman it became clear that the White House needed a serious structural rehab. “At the beginning of 1948, the engineers confirmed in response to President Truman's concerns that the White House was structurally weak and in danger of collapse. Some said that the White House was only of violence,” explains the historical association of the White House on its website. It was obvious that a total reconstruction of the interior was necessary, and the interior was dismantled and meticulously put together again through a four -year effort. In particular, this would replace the president and his family into the nearby Blair House by 1952. “The white house we know today is largely due to the renovation listed by Truman,” says the Historical Association.
1961: Jacqueline Kennedy realized with dignity
When Truman saved the structural integrity of the house, the Kennedys saved its historical integrity. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and the help of sister community, Henry du Pont and Stéphane Boudin, the White House with historical art and artifacts from museum collections and prominent American families were rebuilt. Her goal was to use the residence to present and say the history of American presidential history: “Everything in the White House must have a reason to be there. It would only be a sacrilege to decorate it – a word that I hate. It has to be restored, and that has nothing to do with decoration. That is a question of science.” The public was spoiled in a now legendary television special with a tour of the revised house, which the First Lady brought in an honor -Memy.
