From the dust jacket:
"The White House is universally acknowledged as the most famous house in the United States -- and rightfully so. Every president except George Washington has lived there, and an impressive roster of world leaders, renowned artists, and Nobel prize winners have been among its distinguished guests.
Each year a million people tour the first floor public rooms. However, they are permitted to view only a small part of this great historic building.
Now, in tribute to the White House on its 200th anniversary, this special volume invites you to come inside to see and learn more about the fascinating, multifaceted aspects of life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, both past and present.
Featuring over 175 photographs, Inside the White House offers engaging anecdotes and rare glimpses of First Family life...plans for gala White House weddings, milestone celebrations, hobbies and pets, leisure time with children and grandchildren.
We're taken into the Oval Office, a focal point of Presidential decision-making, and then over to the East Wing's Office of the First Lady. Other stops include top-level meeting rooms, press rooms, and the White House switchboard, to see what it's like to work in this powerful communications center.
Upstairs and downstairs, the White House's period furnishings have long been a source of national pride. A special section highlights these antiques and treasures, with details about the purchase of furniture, china, and glassware, and the history of the magnificent portraits of the Presidents and First Ladies.
The White House has served as the "People's House" since its earliest years, and the hospitality has extended to royalty as well as to the most humble citizens. In this volume you'll find archival drawings, historic photos, and fascinating commentary that document the White House as a hub of activity and a gathering place to celebrate national holidays, to register protests, to receive honorary awards, to enjoy the special amenities of being a guest of the President and First Lady.
Inside the White Houseis a book unlike any other- offer a glorious panorama of American history and an up-close, revealing look at one of our greatest national treasures."
