Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5 MB
Overview: The fact is, the White House we see today is not the White House of yore.” Just as the interior has changed, the use of the White House has also changed considerably over time. While the White House was always intended to serve as the president’s home and a place to receive dignitaries, in the early 19th century, the White House was open to the public, to the extent that people could simply call on the president. Perhaps most notably, the White House has historically been open to public tours, albeit with exceptions made based on security issues, wars, and budget issues. The availability of the public to tour the White House is a strong reminder that while it may house the president during his term, the place ultimately belongs to the people.
