Bookstore White House Historical Association | At Home In The President’S Neighborhood: A Photographic Tour

With The White House, The Visit To The President’S Neighborhood Begins. It Is One Of The Most Historic Neighborhoods In The Nation. Vigorous Life Has Gone On Here For Two Centuries, Warmed By The Proximity To The Great Power Represented In The White House. Introduced By Historian William Seale And Narrated With The Words Of American Presidents And First Ladies, At Home In The President’S Neighborhood: A Photographic Tour Presents A Contemporary View Of The City Through The Lens Of Bruce M. White’S Camera. Through Nearly 200 Never Before Published Images, We See The Neighborhood As The President Sees It From The White House To The Surrounding Parks, Washington’S Historic Homes And Hotels, Neighborhood Landmarks, Government And Commercial Architecture, And City Streets. Activity Seems To Spin Around The President. The Neighborhood Is Not Totally Presidential, But At Its High Mark, It Seems So, For One Is Continually Aware Of This Highest Official When There. But Beyond Being Home To The Head Of State, The White House Neighborhood Is A Microcosm Of Past And Present In The Capital Of The United States.
